Who'da Thunk?!
Just a life-saving tip I learned to deal with engorgement: cabbage leaves! The lactation nurse at the hospital told me to put cabbage leaves in my bra for 20 minutes at a time to treat engorged breasts. Sounds crazy but it works. Just be careful not to do it too much because it will dry you up completely. I did it once and it helped a ton. I thought I would pass along this helpful advice for anyone dealing with the joys of nursing.

I get really engorged when I'm nursing also....it's the worst part of it all for me. I had heard about the cabbage leaves too, sister Weber said it worked for her. We will have to try it out next time I have a baby. I heard the more children you have the less milk you produce....not for me (sigh)
Hahah! Sounds hilarious. I stuff my bra with cabbage leaves! What moms have to do for survival!
