many consultants we brought in to check her latch and her weight, etc., I had to accept the fact that there just was not enough milk for my growing baby and she was not being fulfilled and had stopped gaining weight. Much to my despair, at about 5 months we were forced to switch to all bottles, my milk dried up rapidly (as I expected it to from that point on) and she weaned herself off the bottle a couple of months later. Despite all the research I did on the matter, both in books, on the internet, and from word-of-mouth, for some reason with Jordan, I never received any advice on trying a “galactogogue” (a human milk-stimulating herb, such as Fenugreek, or a medication, such as Domperidone, which is actually a prescription medication that boosts breast milk production in some women). I would like to add one last thing here: I was not on the pill, or pregnant, “over-doing” it, or menopausal – so, none of those medical conditions were a factor in my having to stop breast feeding Jordan. We even tried those “all-weekend-long-nursing-marathons-in-bed”. No luck.
