Every mum's body is so different after delivery, so please don't worry too much, 4 months postpartum with no full flow yet is actually quite normal, especially since your cycles can take a few months to regulate even after you stop breastfeeding.

If you're concerned though, it's always good to do a quick pregnancy test just to rule that out, and if nothing comes by month 5 or 6, a check-in with your gynae would give you peace of mind. Hang in there, your body is still adjusting, you're doing great!
