Episode Synopsis

Domperidone is a prescription medication used in Canada (and other parts of the world by a different name) off-label to help moms with their milk supply. This is because the side effect of its intended use is higher prolactin. Prolactin is your milk making hormone. So theoretically, more prolactin equals more milk.

In today's episode I'm going to share with you why I chose not to take this medication when it was offered to me and how the Lactation Consultant responded.

I'll also cover:

Domperidone side effects
Why moms use the internet for lactation help
What to do if you're worried about your milk supply
