Cabbages and breastfeeding

Cabbages can be used to relieve pain from engorged breasts, wash and clean raw cabbage leaves and place under your bra. It also works well with plugged ducts and sore nipples.

The only concern is if you are still intending to breastfeed, watch your supply. Not only does it reduce engorgement and can loosen and drain a plugged duct, it can also compromise your supply. So be sure and drink plenty of fluids and stop all cabbage as soon as there is relief.
