do you have any connections with anyone who would do an ultrasound?
i'm just thinking that around here, i have someone who would do it if
the doc wouldn't.  it's a freestanding u/s place and in a horrible bind
like this, i think she'd do it?

what about getting a second opinion?

<< Doc did start her on  Reglan

do you guys find Reglan as successful as domperidone?   what about using
some herbs in combo?  More Milk Plus and Goats Rue (Mother Love brand)
per bottle directions.

second opinion.   maybe a sympathetic mw?

a similar situation happened here in terms of pumping and output.  the
difference was that the baby was nursing very very well.....and over the
course of a few weeks, her supply responded baby is completely breastfed
at this point.

i'm wondering about other possibilities for more completely resolving
the tongue tie?  i have, and pretty commonly, found some moms just don't
respond well to a pump no matter how good the pump is.  it has to be a
baby - one that's latching well and transferring well....

oh Jan.   what a nightmare.  i'm so sorry that you and Jill are going
through this.
