Hi Nicole
Congrats on your match! We brought home our baby son 3 weeks ago and I've been nursing him from the day after he was born.
I used herbs, fenugreek and blessed thistle, in tea and supplement form. I ate and still eat lots of oatmeal. I did order the drug domperidone from a UK pharmacy (no prescription needed) and have taken it with no problems or side effects (it is a G.I. drug with a side effect of increasing prolactin).
I also rented a hospital grade pump and began pumping a month before his due date. It worked! I began producing tiny drops of milk right before he was born. I am guessing that the pumping was the most instrumental part of the protocol.
I do supplement him with formula as my supply isn't huge. But it has been such a blessing. I pray all goes well with your adoption plan and your efforts to nurse your baby.
Melanie
