Subject: adding yeast nutrient after fermentation has started?

I've started a batch of traditional mead using about 12 pounds of honey and 
yeast. When I started it, it had a specific gravity of 1.09. After a month 
or so, it's dropped to about 1.05 but the fermentation is going slowly, and 
my spouse is impatient. 

Would it make sense to add yeast nutrient at this point to move things 
along? The articles i've found online say that yeast nutrient is added at 
the beginning, but nothing seems to address adding it later. Thoughts? 

Thanks for any help.
