I've been taking domperidone for one month now. It really has been a lifesaver. I feel like without it we might never have established the nursing relationship we have now, where the baby actually trusts that there will be milk available every time he latches. He has the patience now to nurse through at least a couple of letdowns, rather than pulling off after a minute or two and crying.
I consider myself blessed to have discovered domperidone and I'm sad and frustrated that it isn't available in the United States. There are so many mothers out there who would benefit from it and they either don't know about it or are afraid to try it because they believe the impractical and biased decision made by the FDA.
For those mamas out there considering domperidone here are good resources to try:
Domperidone, Getting Started by Dr. Jack Newman
Dr. Smilie's Letter to the FDA
Official Statements from Drs. Gordon and Newman and Pharmacist Frank Nice
And, of course, where to legally buy:
Inhouse Pharmacy
