I went to the docs today to get a prescription for Domperidone as recommended by the infant feeding specialist as our local hospital. Her first question was to ask if I was drinking enough and then she said that hot things increase milk supply and suggested porridge and hot chocolate!!
Now whilst I'm delighted to have been given the go ahead to drink copious amounts of hot chocolate I can't help thinking she's talking nonsense?
Has anyone heard of have any proof that hot drinks increase lactation?
This is the same GP that listened to my stomach with a stethoscope when I was about 5 weeks pregnant and expressed surprise when she couldn't hear anything.
I've made a note of her name so I never get an appointment with her again!
