Help......don't know what else to do!

a quick up date,

DS#2 has only had 30ml of formula all day he usually has between 70-100ml after every feed for the last few weeks. I am impressed especially as he had his needles yesterday and had a slight temp and really clingy and upset all day today. He just wanted boobie all day and was still getting lots of wet nappies

I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I am hoping this progress continues. It has been 1 week since we increased the motilium to 2 tabs 3x a day and I have read that it takes 3 weeks to see the full effect of this. So my plan is to continue with the motilium for another 2 weeks and then start weaning myself off it at 1 tablet at week and seeing what happens. I was going to do this anyway regardless of that happened today, just to see if I can get myself off them. Any drop in my supply will see me go back to what I am doing now.

I feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel

Yeah thats great news. I continued on the 2 x twice a day tabs for ages and ages - well longer than normal and my doctor (who is also LC) was perfectly happy with that and then dropped to the 2 x once a day. I did find that my supply seemed to drop slightly when I reduced the tabs I was taking but then stablised as my body got used to the new number of tabs.

Hope the good news continues.

thanks for the info about your supply dropping then stabilising, will keep that in the back of my head should the same happen here!

That's great news, well done!

Wow Tracey, that certainly sounds positive. I'm so glad you've had a win - I hope it's the first of many
