Dear Listmates,
 
Permission to post from a mom traveling next month to England for 14  days.
 
Mother takes Domperidone (Motillium) about four times a day, and Mother's  
Milk Special Blend plus additional Goat's Rue to maintain her milk supply. 
Baby  is 9 months old and is on some solids. Mother asked me about traveling  
with the Motillium and these supplements. She would like to take what  she 
needs for the travel day in her carry-on luggage, and pack the rest in her  
check-in luggage. She has obtained a letter from the infant's pediatrician  
regarding the need to take these drugs to maintain her milk supply, as she  
has had major breast reduction surgery. Does anyone have experience with  
traveling with a large number of "nutriceuticals" and a medication which is 
not  FDA approved in the USA for milk supply? Do you think that she will have 
more  difficulty going through US Customs on the return trip? 
 
The second part of her question to me is whether or not she can  purchase 
the Domperidone in England without a RX to bring home with her. I guess  if 
the med is in danger of being confiscated in US Customs, than it would be  
kind of senseless to buy it there and try to get it through Customs. 
 
Hoping that you wise people might have some information for me that I  can 
share with her. Thank you in advance.
