Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Natural Methods to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply On the protocol for almost 3 weeks now -help

I started with the accelerated protocol for 35 days. I have been pumping now for 3 weeks tomorrow. I have not seen much of a change and I am growing concerned. I am pumping 8-9 times a day with the pump in style. I am on domiperidone and the herbs. I seem to still be getting drops. I fill the bottom of a bottle after a whole day of pumping. After about 10 minutes of pumping I get very little...but I have been pumping for 20 minutes anyways. Should I be concerned, what can I do to increase my milk? Does this mean this will not work for me?

When is your baby due? How much Dom are you taking? Are you getting enough fluids?

You may have to go back on the protocol longer. I know I had to.You can do the protocol will nursing your baby with the suplimenter. It can be done

Hi,

I did the accelerated protocol for 30 days. I already had my daughter in arms though, and used the lact aid. I was discouraged with the small amount of milk she received from me. So after investigating it here with the other moms, I upped my dose of dom to 120mg a day. I saw a marked improvement. I do agree that the baby nursing is FAR better than a pump. So don't let the small amount of milk you are pumping out now make you believe you won't have more once your babies come.

btw, I was able to achieve nearly 100% of my daughter's needs and that was 19 years AFTER I had breastfeed my last son. I also nursed her until 14 months. It's worth it!
