First of all its not right to give lactogen to a 4m old. If your milk supply is low, consult a pediatrician and he will prescribe you galactogogues to increase milk production. But u have to stop bottle feeding also. And you have to dilute lactogen in same proportion ie 30ml 1scoop, no matter how much the baby takes
