8 days completed in my inducing lactation journey

I'm swollen, barely getting a drop of clear liquid here and there, pumping every 2 hours, and taking Domperidone. Im starting to feel discouraged even though its early days. Wish it could be a bit more of a relaxing experience. Any tips and tricks or words of encouragement are welcome!

Know that only 8 days in and already producing drops, even clear liquid is promising. Typically expect 6-8 weeks to produce milk in any quantity. Just be certain that your breasts are pumped (or better suckled) at the exact same times, a minimum of three times per day, 20 minutes per nipple and continue until the flow is plentiful. You'll be proud of your accomplishment once you are fully free flowing and instead of being burdened by the chore of inducing you are enjoying the pleasure of feeding your significant other/others.
