Domperidone

[sabelponte]

Hi ladies, I wanted to let everyone know that there are meds to help with supply issues when all else fails. I tried everything, fenugreek, mothersmilk tea, oat meal and power pumping. Nothing worked for me. My Dr. gave me a prescription to domeperidone, which is far better than Reglan. It doesn't cross the brain so the only side effects are dry mouth and head ache. I haven't experienced either and my supply has doubled in just 2 days. Anyhow I just wanted to share, incase there is anyone else out there really struggling. =)

 I took Domperidone. I know Reglan is more common, but the side effects were too scary for me!

I've always wondered if that helped.  I should have asked for that when I had my son.  I had an appendectomy when he was 3 months old and my milk dried up :/.  The LC I saw didn't even know about it apparently :/.  Well, I will know this time around.  I don't have an appendix to rupture, so that's good news :)

I am a milk machine now. I am making around 36oz a day now which is more then enough for mmy LO and it is double what I was producing before. I am very happy and very proud to have made it this far as we approach the half year mark. 6 down 6 to go :)
Glad it is working for you too :D

I pump 5 times a day from 9am-9pm in 3 hr intervals my 1st pump of the day produces 15oz and then each session after that is roughly 5oz.
