Domperidone for reduced breast milk!!

Logiebear · Feb 27th, 2009, 15:15 PM

I thought I would post this as lots of us seem to suffer with reduced breast milk. After researching loads and being prescribed this yesterday I have started taking it today. Apparently it should take 24-48 hrs to kick in.

Here are some links. If it helps then get to your gp or midwife and ask them for a prescription. You should of course always try the non chemical methods first. I have been prescribed it as my daughter needs extra fluids ASAP and I am trying all the non chemical methods too to ensure my milk stays there once I stop taking these pills.

I hope this helps xxx
