sure, but we need to differentiate carefully if there is really a
lack, before we start popping out pills, don't you think?
suggesting drugs like domperidone, before for example the
"breastfeeding management" has been checked and improved, is like
taking antibiotics for a simple cold.
ok, i know there are people who do that. but i don't consider it a good idea.
