Hello, I recently delivered a baby girl; she is three months old now. I breast feed her but I got some stomach virus and I vomited a lot so I have decided to take metoclopramide. Is there any evidence that metoclopramide increases breast milk? I have heard this from a friend of mine, but it sounds unbelievable to me.

I am also a mother, two kids. I will tell you that I am following the advices of my doctor, who says that I should not take any medications while being pregnant and while breast feeding. In pregnancy, avoiding meds ensures that baby is not hurt in any way. As for breast feeding, many medications can end up in the milk, and you do not want to feed your child with that, believe me.
