Here are three studies showing an effect on breastmilk supply with
metoclopramide.  Of course, a better drug is domperidone, but it is not
available in the US.

and breastfeeding: efficacy and anterior pituitary responses of the
mother and child. Europ J Obstet Gynec reproduc Biol. 1985;19:19-22

between improved lactation and metoclopramide. Lancet 1981;May 30;
