I'm Currently Feeling:  | Yeah, they make little pouches. They also have trays you can easily store the pouches in to keep them organized by date, etc. which seems pretty handy. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yes, get the pouches. I really like the Lansinoh ones. They are factory sealed, and have a ziplock on them. Plus you can write the date on them, without worrying about punching a hole in the bag. And you can lay it down flat to freeze, and it makes it way easier to store!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | You can buy a natural supplement to help with milk produce.. I used it with my last son. I think its normally in curries and stuff but Holland and Barretts sell is in capsules.
might not work for everyone but its worth a go.. worked for me  http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pag...il.asp?pid=225 |

No idea how long it takes to work, sorry...but that made me laugh! My friend was prescribed it when he was in hospital (to prevent nausea, not to induce lactation!) and that's exactly what I thought! x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | A slightly more useful post ...I found this: Quote:
After starting domperidone, it may take three or four days before you notice any effect, though sometimes mothers notice an effect within 24 hours. It appears to take two to three weeks to get a maximum effect, but some mothers have noted effects only after 4 or more weeks. It is reasonable to give domperidone a trial of at least four, and better, six weeks before saying it doesn’t work.
