Hello There,
I am going to take a shot at this one since not may people get on this website anymore. I too have struggled reaching Lenore. I am not an expert but I induced lactation for my newborn daughter who is now 7 weeks old. I did the regular protocol and am now up to 4 oz a day. (not much, but just enough to provide all the immunological benefits.) All you need for your baby to get full immunological benefits is 4 oz a day or 1/2 oz per feeding.
Now for your questions. Again im NOT a professional but i will try. There may have been a build up of "Pre milk" in your breasts. As inducing mothers we skip the colostrom phase but do make this premilk during the "pregnancy phase" of the protocol. I certainly made it. But once you pumped it out it is temporarily depleted and since your production isnt quite up there yet it seems as if the volume decreased when really it didnt. You just simply emptied all the premilk that built up. I started seeing sprays at about 1 week after pumping. (a big tip is to do some breast compressions while you pump, this will help a ton!) As for the domperidone, the max dose is 40 mg 4 times a day. You may try upping your dose and see what happens.(mine did go up when I started taking that dose) as for herbs... the only one that REALLY helped was goats rue. you can buy it on Amazon and I used the MotherLove brand. be sure to take it as directed on the bottle. As for your other questions. I would as a Lactation consultant, but I hope I have helped you some. Let me know how things go.
