I have a 12 day old baby and I am having serious milk supply problems. I'm permanently in a cycle of feed/express/top up and the milk just doesn't seem to increase. We're getting my baby's tongue tie snipped this week in the hope it will help, but the midwife recommended I try taking motilium to boost things artificially. Is it realistically going to make a lot of difference? I read it isn't so good at boosting a supply that was never there in the first place. If it is going to work, how long should I give it to take effect? I'm hating every second of expressing, my boobs feel bruised and wrung dry, I'm at the end of my tether but I really wanted to be able to breast feed. When do I call it a day and give up on the idea?
