Hi Marianne

I was waiting for someone with more experience to come along, as I'm  
not sure how domperidone works, however, she could probably experiment  
over a couple of weeks to see what happens.  I always found that it  
took 2 weeks to really see the impact of any change in my expressing,  
so maybe she would find similar with changing her pills.

When it comes to weaning from dom, most mums find that they can drop a  
few pills each week, maybe going from 4 x10 to 4x 9 one week, then the  
next week 4x8 until she finds a drop in supply, most mums find this  
happens somewhere along the line.  The trick then is to go back to the  
previous week's amount and stay there for a month or so until supply  
settles.  So if supply drops at 4x7 then she goes back to 4x8 for a  
month and when her supply settles starts dropping again.  Some mums  
actually find that when they go back up a pill or two their supply  
gets better than it was before.

I hope this helps.

Jenny
