Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Need some quick help!!!

I have been so proud of how much milk I have been making lately, I started about a month ago pumping and until the end of last week I was getting anywhere between 1/2oz to 1 1/2oz. I was excited b/c it looked like it was slowly increasing every week. Well the end of last week I started to notice it was dropping. I have not been feeling the fullness in my breasts that I was feeling, I havent changed a thing I was doing, except maybe once or twice I only pumped 3 times instead of 4 in a day. PLEASE someone help me....... Today I pumped and barely filled the bottom of the bottle.

I have not changed a thing, I am still taking 4 Dom a day, I am trying to pump 3-4 times a day, and I have not increased or decreased my liquid. I will do whatever it takes make my milk increase or get back to where I was.... I have no idea <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> what is going on!!! Like I said I am not even feeling the fullness like I had before. If I was not pumping every 4 hrs I was hurting, now it takes way more then 4 hrs. Even this weekend, on Sat. I missed the 4th pumping on Friday before bed, and Sat. AM I woke up and had to pump early b/c I had a wet shirt....... Why am I drying up???????? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Someone please help!!
Thanks

Can you add one or two more pumpings to bring it up to 5 or 6 a day? I know they recommend at least 8x's a day. Maybe it isn't often enough for you at 3-4.

Good luck,
Hang in there,

if your only taking 4 domperidone a day.. I would up that.. the full dose is 8 a day.. that should help

I have started having hotflashes, and night sweats again and actually I think I started getting them about Sat or Sun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />Could this have something to do with the decrease? It has been almost exactly a month since I quit the Yasmin!

Thanks to every ones suggestions, I am going to try pumping more, increasing Dom, eating oatmeal, and drinking more!!

Thanks again,

Shelly ,
I still have hot flashes and my daughter is 9 months and nursing still. I don't think they will ever go away until I am not nursing any longer and back on hrt
