A lactation consultant has recommended I take domperidone to up my supply after tongue tie clipped. She weighed dd before and after two breasts and said she wasn't getting enough so my supply must be low. I'm confused because initially I felt very full, but she still wasn't getting enough as she just chomped on my nipple for hours. I think my supply probably has diminished as giving formula when pain is too much. But I wonder if I upy supply will she spend less time on the breast (normally takes several hours to satisfy her and give us both a little sleep), or will I just be engorged again on top of the nipple pain? I have tried everything and keep trying everything but can't improve latch. I could cope with the pain if feeds were under an hour I think, but even when I had what felt like a good supply they were endless, and it never felt like my breast was drained. Dd is 8 weeks btw. I want to try whatever will work but the thought of being engorged again doesn't appeal if it still won't transfer to dd. Arg !
