Sounds like going with the flow is working well for you Good on you! Yes, your Ob can prescribe Motilium. Be prepared though (and this is not a downer on Obs, I have one and love him to bits ), he may not be keen, and talk to you about how you've given it your best shot, it didn't work out blahdy blah blah, why resort to medication now etc etc. Of course, he may not, I don't know your Ob , but many are misinformed about breastfeeding, and don't prioritise it. My Ob gave me a script initially, no dramas, probably because I had a prem. But he was reluctant to give me a repeat, although he did in the end. I now buy it from a website that doesn't require a prescription, it's cheaper that way too.
Good luck! As a PP has said, unfortunately breastfeeding is presented as an 'all or nothing' deal, which is definitely not the case. Yeah, exclusive breastfeeding is known to be best for baby, but for those who cannot achieve that (myself included) doing both is definitely workable. Feel free to ask any questions that spring to mind.
