I have been on the protocal for 2 weeks now and I already have a few drops of milk. No pumping yet. I can't believe it. Is this a sign of good things to come?
Can it happen this fast? Please write and let me know.

Wow! I didnt realize you could get milk that fast.. and without pumping? Double wow! Are you not using bcp's with your protocol?

If you are hand expressing to get drops please stop. You really need to not do any stimulation like pumping or hand expression at this point in the protocol. If you are talking about leaking a little breast milk then that is not uncommon to have that at some point in the protocol.

Which protocol are you following? If it's the domperidone/birth control pill combination, then pumping is not typically begun until at least 30 days have passed.

I have been on the advanced protocol Yas/Domp for almost 30 days...baby girl due Feb 6th...plan to stay on protocol for 60 days total. I too have drops & sprays. I am not pumping yet but my bio 5 year old nurses in the morning upon waking & to go to sleep at night. Will that really interfere with my success?

Hi Mindy,
Nursing is fine because you're stimulating one breast at a time rather than double pumping. And besides, where breastfeeding is concerned, the needs of your children come first so there is no way we would interfere with the nursing relationship between you and your 5 year old.
Congratulations on a fabulous breastfeeding relationship!
