How you can stop the milk from coming in without getting to engorged or too sore.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cabbage leaves
  1. Step 1

    You can start by when your in the shower let the hot water hit your back and that will help the milk express so that your not swollen or engorged.

  2. Step 2

    Then when you get out of the shower you would take a cabbage leaf from a head of ordinary cabbage that you buy in the produce department of your grocery store. You place one leaf in each bra cup. I would use a nursing bad as well just in case of leaking. I would suggest doing this at night so you don't have to worry as much.

  3. Step 3

    You leave the cabbage leafs in your bra cups until the milk is dried up. You can change them if they get to wet depending on how much milk you have. I have done this with all four of my pregnancies and I have been dried in up no more then 48 hours.
