Hi all
I am new here and awaiting the birth of our son who is due in three weeks.
I started the Newman fast track protocol 4 weeks ago with BCP and domperidone. I stopped the BCP after 30 days as I did have breast changes. I started pumping, and continued taking the Dom. I have been pumping for 5 days, and am getting drops on both sides, but still less than an ounce. Does this sound normal? I am pumping for 10 mins each time- is it suppose to be more? When should I expect the supply to increase? Is every three hours ok? Will my supply kick in once I put the baby to the breast?
I have not done the fast protocol, but I can say that yes it should increase, but you may need to supplement for awhile too. How much Dom are you taking? Are you taking the herbs as well?

I also did the fast protocol. After about a week or so of pumping, I was starting to collect an amount worthy of keeping. If you look back on our posts in the "on the fast track protocol", you will see where I was at then. I have been pumping for 2 1/2 months now and am getting between 6.5-7 ounces a day. I was taking 120 mg of dom but am down to 80 for a while to see if I can keep increasing on my own. I am not sure how that will go though!
Keep going. You have only just started. YOu will be amazed where you are at in 3 weeks when you son is born!
