Depending on how long the protocol is implemented on them and how much time is left until the birth of the baby, mothers are divided into three groups: 6 to 4 months before birth, 4 to two months, and two months and less.
In the first stage, mothers receive drospirenone, ethinyl estradiol tablets daily along with domperidone tablets for one week. In the second stage, 6 weeks before the birth of the child, OCP is stopped, domperidone continues and vaginal bleeding occurs, and milking begins with an electric breast pump.
