HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Mam the medicine you are taking for lactation purpose is not mainly indicated for it, I personally say that this could be side effect of this drug that bring the lactation in mother, instead you can feed your baby every after 2 hours interval regardless whether baby is hungry or not, this method some time gives much good result than medicine, for top feeding try to give a top milk home prepared instead of giving commercially available product take care of your baby have nice day. (All mothers are very conscious for weight of their babies though babies are weighing in normal ranges )
