?s for Dom users

My dom arrived on 12/23 and I started taking it right away (missed the am dose)....started with 90 mg/day the first few days and now taking 120 mg/day. I do see a difference already (from the first couple days).  DS is staying on the breast longer...I hear him gulping and he will leave an oz or so of formula from the bottle (takes 5-6 oz a feeding total...I usually make a 4 oz bottle...with pre/post feeding weights we estimated he gets 1-2 oz pre-dom...so maybe he is getting more bm now and is drinking less formula.  I have felt a little fuller than before but never get the letdown feeling and never have to use breast pads (no leaking) nor does one breast leak while DS is nursing on the other side (all stuff I did have w/DD 9 yrs ago...did not have BFing issues)

My questions are:

 

Will taking dom over a long period time, with a growing baby (and increased demand/amount to eat) eventually lead to not having to supplement?  As in becoming EBF?  Has it happened to you?  How long after started dom?

Do you have increased gas and baby as well?  sorry tmi 

 

TIA

    i was giving DD 2/3 bm and 1/3 formula before dom.  after taking it for 6 weeks she only gets 1 bottle of formula a day (25 oz bm, 5 oz formula - i EP). 

    i'm planning on taking dom long term but going to try to wean down from 90 to 60 mg a day.

    your supply should definitely increase!
