1. A method for producing a compressed body of a powdered milk having a solid form obtained by compression molding the powdered milk, the method comprising:
a first compression step of compressing the powdered milk at a first compression speed V1; and
a second compression step of compressing the compressed body of the powdered milk compressed in the first compression step at a second compression speed V2 that is lower than the first compression speed until the compressed body of the powdered milk has a final thickness L in a predetermined compression state corresponding to a target thickness of the compressed body of the powdered milk from a state of being compressed in the first compression step,
wherein a compression speed ratio V1/V2 is 5 or more; and
the second compression step is performed following the first compression step without releasing a compression.
