Domperidone/ motolium

Does anyone have experience taking these? Not sure my GP will prescribe domperidone but I have seen motilium is available over the counter.

If gp won't give it to me, will a chemist ask questions or just let me buy loads? I wouldn't know how much to take though - I've read some women take 10 tablets a day! So I'd need a pack of motilium a day.

I've tried everything else to a point where even the bf counsellors have said its time to be kinder to myself and accept his formula top ups which we need to increase so much he might as well be fully formula fed I think. It's all getting so much that as much as it pains me I think we'd be better off not trying anymore.

I think it is different medication that previous poster refers too. Domperidone has very few side effects when used to increase milk supply

I took it for ~2 months, 6 tablets per day, no side effects.

After 5 days he's only dropped a top once! Am going back next week and might ask for higher dose.

But you know what, I think I'm feeling much better now. He can comfort suck me, I'll put him to breast a few times a day and formula is turning him into a little chunky bum! Best of both. :)

Very glad to hear you feel better! That's exactly what he (and you) needs now. He'll become more and more fun over the next weeks, enjoy it!
