DOMPERIDONE: DONT DO IT
For all my breastfeeding mothers, if you struggle with low milk supply and your doctor recommends a prescription called Domperidone, it is my strong recommendation that you don't take it. No one told me but it causes EXTREME WEIGHT GAIN (as in, 20 lbs in 2 months. Trying to lose pregnancy weight gain?! Hah ya right). And I've been drinking tons of water, I'm a vegetarian so I eat vegetables for every meal, and I'm also training for a half marathon on February, so I also go to the gym 4-5 times a week. Curious as to why I was gaining instead of losing I googled it and found tons of forums scrim women stating they gained weight while on this prescription. OH and the kicker? It did not increase my milk supply whatsoever. And according to the forums I read, it didn't help many women either. Just a little FYI
