5 weeks into Re-Lactation Journey.....Any help? #15894 12/24/13 01:56 AM

I am trying to get a supply back but my youngest daughter is 8. I was getting random drops at 10 days in and as of last week more steady drops and this week I am pumping ml's each pump session. I wasn't aware of the protocol for inducing and just started pumping before my Dr who is also a lacation consultant told me about it. So I started domperidone a couple weeks ago. I am really looking for some encouragement that I can build a supply beyond ml's. Being I won't be nursing her babies, I need to rely exclusively on a breast pump. I am currently using a medela pump in style. Thanks Amanda

That would mean taking the birth control pill and domperidone without pumping for 4 months and then stopping the bcp and pumping. I think you will get better results by doing that.
