Im trying to get my lo to start breastfeeding we started taking domperidone 4 days ago he wouldnt latch the first daybut by the next day I had some milk and he latched! But hes 12weeks so doesnt really want to breast after I give his formula 5oz every 3 hours so I just pump ive already since an increase I could harld pump nothing 4 days ago and just now I pumped 1oz in 10mins on just one side :happydance: .. im just wondering if its possible to EBF and how often should I pump for?
 
It's very possible to EBF still. Offer the breast first at all feedings then top him off with formula and then pump. You want to pump at every feeding your baby has so your supply knows when baby eats and can adjust to that demand. You can power pump too. 15 min on the pump and 15min off, while drinking water. With the domperidone, pumping and having your baby latch on you should continue to see results and hopefully be EBF soon.

I'm relactating as well and today is my first day on domperidone. Good luck!
