I stopped breastfeeding about a month ago and ever since, my baby doesn’t seem to get along with any formula. I want to breastfeed again but I have no milk! Can Reglan make me start lactating again?
Can Reglan make you lactate if your milk supply id completely gone?

Reglan will work for some people who have never been pregnant, it can also cause lactation in men.
However please be aware that Reglan can cause depression and suicide.
Along with pumping & offering the breast to your child you should be able to build your supply back up. Be patient. Drink lots of water, have a good diet and KEEP TRYING!
Look into a supplemental nursing system. I used one with my daughter. You fill it with formula & tubing comes down that you tape to your breast. Your child is fed from your breast but with formula..all while stimulating your supply.
If you are determined enough you can do this!
Good luck momma!
would also recommend taking either Reglan (10 mg, 3 times a day) or Domperidone (10 mg 3 times a day, increasing to 20 mg 4 times a day after you have been taking it for a few weeks). Both of these medications increase prolactin production and have minimal side effects, but Domperidone is the safer of the two drugs, and unfortunately, is available in Canada but not the United States. Both medications must be prescribed by a doctor. In most studies of Reglan, major increases of prolactin and significant increases in milk production were observed, but when it was discontinued abruptly, the supply also decreased abruptly
