Lactation

2022-06-17 20:43:36
My baby is 4 months old. He is both bf and formula fed. From last 8-10 days he is not breast feeding properly and asks for bottle. Due to this irregularity, now when I pumped, my milk supply has dropped significantly. If I pump/feed regularly now, can my supply get increased? I am really worried as I want to breast feed him as much as possible. What else can help with increasing supply now after 4 months?
