Medical Conditions and the Protocols
Depending on when the mother expects her baby to arrive she'll have to think like this
...she'll need to pump for at least a month.
The mother will need to be off the birth control pill when she starts pumping. She will need to be on the birth control pill-domperidone combination for at least 30 days non-stop. The longer the mother can be on the combination the better.
So if the mother has three months...she'll be on the combination for 2 months straight.
If she has 2 months...she'll be on the combination for at least 1 month straight.
After the mother is off the birth control pill and still on the domperidone, she'll begin to pump. The mother will need to use a double electric breast pump such as either the Medela Pump n Style or Medela Lactina Select (see the section on breast pumps). And then she'll need to take herbs...fenugreek and blessed thistle.
