Women seeking to increase their breast milk production often use galactagogues, defined as foods or medications thought to promote or increase breast milk supply [1, 5,6,7,8]. Domperidone, a dopamine receptor antagonist, is one of the most commonly reported galactagogues and is thought to improve breast milk supply by increasing serum prolactin
Additional Information on Domperidone, Milk Supply and Induced Lactation Introduction: Domperidone (Motilium ) is a drug that has, as a side effect, the increase of milk production, probably by increasing prolactin production by the pituitary gland. Prolactin is the hormone that stimulates the cells in the mother s breast to produce milk.

A woman's breast size before induction has no direct impact on her ability to lactate; the amount of milk produced is primarily determined by hormonal factors and the pumping/feeding frequency, not the amount of fatty tissue in the breast, which is what primarily determines cup size.
Key points to remember:
Fat vs. Milk-producing tissue: Breast size is largely determined by fatty tissue, while milk production is controlled by glandular tissue, meaning a larger breast does not necessarily mean a larger milk supply.
Supply and demand: The body naturally adjusts milk production based on the baby's feeding needs, so even women with smaller breasts can produce enough milk if they breastfeed frequently.
Potential concerns with breast surgery: While breast size itself is not a factor, certain breast surgeries like reductions or augmentations could potentially impact milk ducts and affect lactation.
Factors that can affect lactation after induction:
Hormonal balance: Proper hormonal levels after birth are crucial for milk production.
Frequent feeding: Regularly nursing or pumping stimulates milk production.
Stress levels: High stress can negatively impact lactation.
