When did you stop and how? We're coming onto a year. I don't really want to stop bf'ing and I'm afraid if I stop the paltry supply is going to dry up all together. We also still supplement most feedings with an SNS, so soon I won't be doing that anymore (unless I can do it with cow's milk?) Phoebe loves her some boobies and I think she'd be happy just to suck at 'em even if only a few drops were coming out, but is that okay? I know these are questions for my ped, but I don't see her for a couple weeks and was hoping to hear experiences from other low-supply moms and extended bf'ing.

Re: those of you who took domperidone...
Sun, April 13, 2008 - 4:34 PMI am currently weaning off Domperidone as Connor is now 14 months and I want to drop the extra weight I've picked up. I am dropping one pill per week to allow my body to adjust. I am also starting to take Shatavari, a new herb that works like Domperidone. I added in 1 tablet of Shatavari at 90mg, 60mg, 30mg and 0mg of Domperidone as I reduced. Your supply, according to other women on the bfar.org website forums, should remain stable and you may only notice a drop once you wean down to 60mg of Domperidone or below. I am down to 90mg and I haven't noticed a drop in supply yet but I have started introducing the Shatavari already. Connor only nurses about 4 time a day now and is eating solids well so I'm not too concerned. You are welcome to PM me with any more questions or check out the gatalogues forums on the bfar.org website. -
