A word of mouth cannot replace a proper medical consultation, and your own gynecologist may have a different say on the matter. In an article published in "Breastfeeding Medicine" in 2008, the followin gwas demonstrated: "Statistical analysis revealed that training of nursing mothers for perfect breastfeeding (with or without metoclopramide consumption) has a significant improving role in infants' weight gain; however, there was no statistically meaningful difference between the two treatment groups (with and without administration of metoclopramide).CONCLUSIONS:
Counseling nursing mothers for proper lactation before delivery and their continued training thereafter are the main clinical pathways toward a successful and sustained breastfeeding." <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18564001>
And remember: Primperan (metoclopramide) has adverse effects and may be excreted into breast milk in variable amounts. Most infants would receive <10% of the dosage, but some receive doses that are high enough to achieve active drug levels in the baby's bloodstream, inducing an elevation in the serum prolactin level (prolactin is the hormone secreted by the pituitary gland and stimulates milk formation in the mammary glands in the breasts), and possible gastrointestinal side effects. Although most studies have found no adverse effects in breastfed infants during maternal metoclopramide use, many did not adequately observe for side effects.
Again, consult YOUR gynecologist.
