Dear Cindy,
I presume you mean "now pregnant".
There is no evidence that domperidone is dangerous to the fetus, but lack of evidence is not proof that it's okay.
However, pregnancy will decrease the milk supply and domperidone won't work anyway because of the hormones of pregnancy.
We now have an instructional DVD for breastfeeding. For a preview and more information, see www.drjacknewman.com. This website also contains other information about breastfeeding as well as video clips showing breastfeeding techniques such as how to latch a baby on, how to know a baby is drinking from the breast, how to use compression, amongst others.
See also my book, Dr. Jack Newman's Guide to Breastfeeding (HarperCollins, 2nd revision 2005) as it's called in Canada, or The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers as it's called in the US (now out in a new edition, as of November 2006).
I now also have a new book out, published by Hale Publishing, called The Latch and other keys to Successful Breastfeeding. Ordering information is available at www.ibreastfeeding.com
