Default Re: nip soreness and milk supply question

I'm very sorry you're still experiencing pain. I will say I still do off and on at 11 mos. I had breast augmentation years ago and also worried I would not be able to breastfeed. I suffered a loss of supply around 10 weeks, in part due to a one bottle a day routine we started. I reacted badly to Reglan and switched to Motilium which I still take regularly. Like you, even with the drug, I rarely feel full except first thing in the am. But Addi is growing well and a happy baby most of the time. She still prefers nursing to all other food. After my big supply dip it took me about 2 weeks to get her back to exclusive breast and since that time around 12 weeks I can count on one hand how many bottles she has had. She now takes a sippy with water once or twice a day but that hasn't posed a problem for our nursing.

Are you still taking the Motilium? Maybe try taking a low dose to boost yourself or try pumping a little for more stimulation.

Good luck to you.
