Oh ok that weird because the lactation consultant told me to use them for one day only
don't use cabbage if you want to continue breastfeeding. cabbage leaves dry your milk up
the more you empty them the more they produce. so by pumping in between feedings your telling ypur body to make more.
Hmmm have you put some ice packs on them? Are they hurting from just being swollen/adjusting to feeding or is it the milk making them engorged? I have the number of a lactation consultant, I can send it to ya if you would like. I'm sure she could give you better advice than me!
Pump away. Maybe try to warm them up first with a heating pad or a warm wet towel
Yea I been pumping even in between feeding π@kimberkatherine
Do you have a breast pump? I was told to pump if my breasts become engorged but the baby is done eating already
Yes, cabbage is ok for engorgement! My LCs told me to do it, and I've done it a few times now and my milk supply is fine! If you are not nursing and use them nonstop they will help you dry up, but if your still nursing, you will be fine! They really are amazing!
