A lady is making me feel horrible because my doctor prescribed me Reglan for enhancing my breast milk, I was super excited until she told me that it has horrible side affects and mentioned I should try taking Domomperdone (only available in UK I believe) because it works better and has less side effects.. I'm torn on what to do because I feel I'm horrible for taking what my doctor prescribed me every one saying it's horrible.. What would u do? I need help 😥

I just keep my daughter on my breasts. No pumping and I stopped with the pacifier. While shes eating I gently massage them. She cluster feeds every now and then and its a pain but I know it ups my supply. There's Mother's milk tea and fenugreek. With fenugreek you take 2 capsules 3 times a day and eat oatmeal. Also postnatal vitamins help with lactation as well. Hope things get better

I know how you feel, I promise. Remember what you're pumping is not all that the baby gets. Actually for your baby's age, that is a good amount. Do you wear bras all day? That can also slow your supply down. I had to stop wearing them so much. Maybe I should say too tight. The tighter they are, the more likely it will slow your supply down. The first two weeks of my baby's life I pumped. I stopped and have been exclusively breastfeeding. I just started pumping again last week for a bigger supply to freeze. You're doing great. Do try the lactation cookies or fenugreek. I hear a lot of ladies say after the third day they had a huge supply and stopped using those things to help.

@hhmariah I've never taken it. She probably does need to hear it though. @blessedw7 The best thing to do is to keep baby at your breast. Pumping and eating oatmeal can also help. A lot of the times we think we're not producing enough, but we are. I'm surprised your doctor prescribed something for that. I don't take any medicines at all. Our bodies are capable of everything. I really believe if you feed baby more and drink a lot of water your supply would be better in about three days. Do you ebf or feed baby a bottle?

I know I know, but I really don't want anybody experience what I did! and not trying to sounds rude but some doctors don't talk about the bad side effects and just blow it off... a good doctor will tell you everything right off he get go.

@hhmariah, I think you just scared the poor mama even more and that's horrible even though I haven't heard of such medicine as I'm a ftm. @blessedw7 look like we're both gonna talk to our doctors

also made me very very emotional, when my LO would cry I'd break down and would just give her to my husband to take care of, I didn't spend time with her at all... but now I'm off it and absolutely love caring for my baby.

I really would not take reglan, was on it last month made me pass out everyday, made my face numb and lips droop, made me super depressed and gave me terrible headaches. Reglan was black boxed for a reason. I'm really not trying to sound pushy but, I wouldn't want what happened to me, happen to you. plus, what nobody tells you is that it can be highly addictive.

Everyone LOVES putting their two cents in. Like @deafmama16 said, ask your doctor! Just tell them that you did some research, and you're concerned with the side effects. If you don't want to wait until your next appointment, then call the care line through your hospital. The head nurse can help. 😊
