Milk production can still improve even after 1 month postpartum. 👉Neither insulin nor corticosteroids at replacement/therapeutic doses are usually the main cause, although maternal illness (ITP, diabetes), preterm delivery, stress, and delayed or infrequent breast emptying can contribute to low supply. 👉Ensure effective breast stimulation by breastfeeding or pumping 8–12 times/day, including at least once at night, with skin-to-skin contact and correct latch. 👉 If the baby is unable to suck effectively, use a hospital-grade double electric pump after feeds. Review thyroid function, anemia, retained products, and breast anatomy if supply remains very low. 🌿A lactation consultant assessment is strongly recommended.  ❤️With consistent stimulation and support, many mothers do experience an increase in milk production, even at this stage.

It happens  once baby regularly  socks on breast, to initiate and maintain milk production. This medication  doesn't  affect  milk production.
