Low milk supply
I'm breastfeeding my 2 months old baby. I was prescribed lactare tablets with domperidone for 10 days as my milk supply started decreasing. My supply got better for those 10 days but now again it's dropping. Can i take these tablets for the next 2 months? Will it have any side effects? I want to breastfeed my baby for at least 4 months. Please tell me as nothing else worked for me.
