I need something to increase my breast milk supply. My son is 5 months old and has been breastfeeding great until I got a cold a few weeks ago and my supply took a hit and ever since I have not been able to produce as much. I have tried pumping every 2-4 hours,nursing frequently, and herbal supplements as well and no change..what medication can I get to increase my milk supply?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and I would like to say that some time Metoclopramide being used to stimulate the lactation, but before taking this you need to get your self medically examined because this drug some time causes the extra pyramidal syndrome, and this is matter of concern, take care and have a nice day.
