On my 3rd time with the Symphony (which has MAJOR suction!!) I got some out of both sides. Not much, but I hadn;t gotten anything at all on most previous pumping attempts. So there is something there; my main supply just hasn't come in yet. I am slightly worried but trying not to be too concerned--after all, even mothers who bottle feed from the start and never try breast feeding usually have something come in!

Hrm, midwife didn't sound optimistic :/ She'd never heard of domperidone either, but she said to keep pumping and see what happens.

My family's here. They are insane and my mother is insisting on cleaning my kitchen.

I tried the skin-to-skin idea, when she wasn't too hungry so she wouldn't be frustrated. She latched right on and sucked for 5 minutes before dropping off (a natural, "satisfied" drop off). So that was really good. :) And despite having quite a lot of Aptamil she hasn't gone off breast milk--if I have any, she laps it right up. Now, if my body would just cooperate...
