Two questions - pumping and meds

1) What's the website to order domperidone again?  I only have about 2 weeks left on my prescribed supply and it's expensive to have it compounded!

 

2) Why oh WHY will my right breast not express milk?  It's there.  I have plenty of tissue.  It can be hand expressed.  But pumping I get maybe a teaspoon.  Seriously.  I've been pumping every 2-3 hours since coming home from the hospital with a hospital-grade pump.  I'm on domperidone, goat's rue, fenugreek.  I put the baby to the breast as often as I can (he has some palate and tongue issues that may be inhibiting him from extracting milk).  I've had LC appts.  I don't know what else to do!

I had one bad pumping night this weekend and now I'm no longer ahead by one feed.   At most I get one ounce out of my left side.  One.  


Why do I suck so badly at feeding my kid?!  Crying

    If your baby can't get milk out because of physical problems, it's no one's fault if you're having a rough time. You won't let him go hungry. I'm sure you're a great mom doing everything you can.

    I don't have any answers to your questions, but I wanted to give you a bit of encouragement. Just keep going. Even if you have to supplement formula, being paritally breastfed is still really good for your baby.
