Ive had a super low milk supply since giving birth. Been meeting with a lactation consultant 1-3x per week. After trying EVERYTHING (and i mean everything from pumping, to herbal remedies, to eating certain foods, to eliminating certain foods, using an SNS-everything) and nothing would work for increasing it (im only making 1/4th of what i should be ! With that said and after 4 weeks of seeing NO increase, the LC suggested i get my prolactin levels checked. So i did and it turns out my number level of prolactin (27.5) is that of a NON lactating woman and that of a man . Normal for a man or non nursing female is 0-30. A nursing mother should be making at least 100. Anyways, point is my prolactin level has been the isse the entire time. They are going to put me on a drug called domperidone. I was just wondering what your results with this drug was? Did your milk supply remain the same or increase? If it increased- by approximately how much? I just want to know there is light at the end of the tunnel as i intend on BFing for at least a year. And this nursing, pumping, supplementing thing is a lot of work!
