Jaci is in the process of inducing lactation using the Newman Goldfarb protocol. When you have two babies and two moms, what’s better than two sets of boobs to feed them with?
Our protocol: Jaci started birth control after my transfer back in September, and has taken only active pills since then. In early January, she added in Domperidone (20mg 4x/Day). On March 24, we tried hand expression, and were able to get a few mL. For the next 5 days, she remained on birth control and used the hand pump, then the Spectra S2 double electric pump (we also purchased a Medela Pump in Style Advanced and for whatever reason, she tends to get more using this pump). She stopped the birth control on March 29, and started pumping 5x/day (about every 3 hours) on Saturday, March 30.
Pumping Schedule: Once a day on days 1 while still on birth control, then 5x/day (approximately every 3 hours) starting on March 30, the first day without birth control.
Here are Jaci’s pumping totals starting on the first day after stopping birth control (we will continue to update this chart):
