Hi basically, I got off to a rough start with breastfeeding but it was getting better recently until I got ill ( she had tongue tie etc at the beginning so I mixed with formula but was able to feed less formula slowly), had diarrhoea and vomiting for a week and ending up taking Imodium which I thought was okay to take while breastfeeding but wasn’t according to the leaflet in the packet. So I didn’t feed her for a few days and then my pump broke on me so I couldn’t fully express either. So I’ve tried everything (fenugreek, feeding more, pumping etc) to get my supply up but nothing will work the milk has nearly gone I think. Will I be able to get Domperidone to help. I really want to breastfeed and I was finally getting the hang of it, and formula is quite expensive for us atm. She’s nearly 5 weeks so still really little. And I don’t want to just formula feed fully, Idm mixed feeding
