Re: Supply Get thee to http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/ and order up some motilium. Its a juvenile anti-emitic that has a wonderful side effect of being a galactogogue (makes milk come in) You are taking it for the side effect. You can take up to 3 10 mg pills 3x day. Takes about 2 weeks to kick in. Most people start at that dose and then taper off to find a dosage that keeps the milk coming and keeps the baby happy. I got this stuff from a friend who is an RN and can't lactate without it. She also gave it to the friend who gave me her frozen milk. Then I took it for the girls. Unfortunately I didn't get it until they were 6-7 months old and they were hooked to those damn bottles. Then I never had time to pump. Grrr. I still have some left from the girls and I will be taking them in the hospital when I deliver again.
I bet you get more hassle where you live than here. I remember nursing Ike in NJ in public and people's eyes were about to pop out. He was also 18 months old at the time, so that might have had something to do with it =) You are more than welcome for the shout out and I am cheering you on! =)
