questions

Has anyone successfully breastfed a baby without taking the protocal of birth control pills and domperidone?

For health reasons I cannot take birth control pills. I am hesitant to take anything that may give me a hormonal imbalance as it can agrivate a heart condition that I have. For that reason I do worry that domperidone may do the same thing to my body that birth control pills have done in the past. I haven't spoken with my cardiologist but I highly doubt he would approve this medication for me.

Can I successfully induce lacation using herbal supplements, pumping alone? I have decided that this is very important for me and for our future adopted baby and am disapointed that I will be unable to use the "protocal."

I had ample milk supply with my two dd's and had no problem breastfeeding. I don't know if this matters or not? I'm sure if I can get the milk started I will be okay.

If there are any success stories of inducing lactation w/o birth control/domperidone please post or PM me. Thank you.
