Domperidone (motilium): Secretion in breast milk and effect on
puerperal prolactin levels.  Hofmeyr, van Iddekinge, Blott.  British
Journal of O&G, February 1985, Vol.92, pp141-144.

"... Domperidone may be safer than other drugs in this group
(dopamine antagonists) as it does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
..... The researchers conclude that the use of drug-induced
hyperprolactinaemia to promote apparently inadequate lactation is
controversial.  Proper motivation and encouragement may be effective
in most patients.  There may be more justification for the use
of drugs to induce lactation in unphysiological situations such as
adoptive mothers who wish to breastfeed;  or for induction of
lactation after complete cessation..."

1985 is a long time ago!  Does anyone else have anything more recent?
