How to increase milk supply when not enough milk is being produced

Patient's question:

My baby is 4 months old, but due to insufficient breast milk, the child is not getting enough to eat. How can I increase milk supply?

Doctor's answer:

In this situation, it is recommended not to continue breastfeeding, as the quality of breast milk after four months is no longer sufficient to meet the baby's needs. Currently, you can feed the child with formula and rice porridge. Gradually, you should pay attention to adding 1/4 of an egg yolk, liver puree, and other nutrients. It's important to regularly check the child's height and weight. You can continue breastfeeding while supplementing with formula, gradually reducing the number of breastfeeding sessions, and avoid abruptly weaning, as the baby may not adapt well.
