Well, I know you know I'm here and that I went through my own difficult milk supply problems. I would love to know (when you get a chance, but not urgent!) how the domperidone goes. I also wanted to throw out there that I loved the Medala Symphony for comfort and help with letdown. I have the PIS and liked that one for travel (battery pack!) and I started with the other hospital grade Medela (the blue one) and it was okay, but the Symphony felt worth the upgrade.

It took me a long long time to realize that what was best for Sam went beyond being able to breastfeed and that my overall sanity was just as (or maybe more) important. I'm glad you are keeping that in mind and that you are also getting a lot of support from people you trust to help.

But no, there is no way to prepare for the heartbreak of the situation.

I hope you get to a (preferably milky) peaceful place soon.
