Dear Anu, If your doctor is encouraging you to try this medication, then perhaps you should. I believe there are also herbal remedies that you can take to increae your milk supply. If you're planning on looking into natural remedies, I would see a Naturopathic physician just to make sure that you're not taking something that would hurt you or your child. I am not familiar with Domperidone at all. Sorry! Another thing that may help is getting a second opinion from another MD. Take care, Maggie
