Has anyone got a GP to prescribe domperidone to increase supply? If so, did you take any info with you to help your case?
My DD is almost 5 weeks old and still hadn't regained her birthweight. In fact, she hasn't put on any weight at all.
I've seen various lactation consultants/breastfeeding peer supporters, etc,for advice on attachment and positioning and all agree that this is good. Baby has plenty of wet and dirty nappies, and is alert and happy. She just isn't gaining weight!
I'm pumping and giving her the expressed milk as well, but don't seem able to express much.
The midwives are pushing me to top up with formula and I'm beginning to feel like I don't have many other options...
I've already tried herbal supplements to boost supply which has helped a bit...
Thought I'd see my GP tomorrow to see if they'll prescribe something but expect they will be fairly dismissive and advise switching to formula instead...
