Reglan for increasing milk production
My daughter was eating more milk than I could produce. I was pumping and getting about an ounce/ ounce and a half per breast.
I had tried everything- fenugreek, fennel, brewers yeast, muscle milk, oatmeal, flaxseed... nothin worked.
I had my six week checkup and asked my ob if she’d be able to prescribe me Reglan to help me up my production- my baby was screaming half the night out of hunger and we had started to have to supplement.
She reluctantly said yes, and I started it yesterday.
I was apprehensive because of the side effects, but nothing bad has happened so far! Just sleepy.
And the good news- MY MILK IS UP!!! 🥛
I’m now getting three ounces per breast! Now I have her bottles filled and ready for her next feeding PLUS a small stash ready to go :)
So for any of you mommas who are considering Reglan, I’d say it’s a life saver 🐄
UPDATE: day four I started to get crazy anxious and shake like my blood sugar was low. I was shaking so bad I couldn’t keep water in my mouth when I took a drink. Not sure if it’s because of low blood sugar along with stress or because of the medication, but just in case I quit taking hte Reglan
