I was originally going to just use the Lactaid and be content with the nursing experience but after doing some reading I REALLY want to make some milk! Our birthmom is expecting 1/10. I will be taking the domperidone and BCP as soon as I receive them. Is it crazy to be starting the protocol this late? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks, Debbie

You just do the accelerated protocol while nursing with supplement in the lact-aid. Once you stop the bcp add your herbs. You still nurse with the lact-aid and can pump or express after feedings but you don't have to. The herbs will be wasted if you take them now.

Where is this obtainable and do you need a prescription for it? I've explored Inhouse Pharmacy...they have Yasmin but not Ortho 1/35. Any pharmacy or ordering ideas from anyone (keeping in mind I'm from the U.S.)? Thanks so much, Hope Mom to Olivia via GS, Mya (bio), and a future #3 through the miracle of open adoption

IF you don't feel any changes after a month you can then switch to ortho 1/35 Adoptive mommy to 4 , Last 2 adopted nursed. Youngest nursed till she was 5!
