Is it too late to increase my breastmilk with mother milk tea. My baby now already 4 months old, and i think my milk is not enough for him. I read that after 3 months, the production of breastmilk will decrease. Is that right? I already try pump but thats not works. I just got about 2 oz every 3-4 hour from both. Help me...he doesn't like formula.

No it is not too late at all. In fact I know people who breastfeed children they have adopted. Take the mothers milk tea. If that does not work then see your doctor about Domperidone which will increase your milk. Also, at the end of your babies feeds, pump for about 10 to 15 minutes. You may not get anything out but it will increase milk supply. You should be making enough for your baby as our bodies make milk according to supply and demand. Perhaps your baby is going through a growth spurt. It sometimes feels like you are nursing 24/7 during a growth spurt because it takes a day or two for your milk to catch up with the demand. Perhaps you might consider introducing a bit of rice cereal to your baby. He is 4 months now and while most tell you to wait until 6 months it is shown that after 4 months some babies are ready.

Try getting him onto formula for a week. If not, ask your doctor. If theres nto enough for him, there isnt much you can do.
