  yes, that's what I found.  I also used cabbage leaves in my bra, no joke.

  i used cabbage leaves, bags of frozen peas, took sudafed (my doctor said this would help drying me up), and wrapped an ace bandage around my chest VERY tightly.

  It only took me about 3-4d to dry up.  I wore a sports bra 24/7 with nursing pads to catch leakage, took sudafed, and placed a bag of frozen veggies on my boobs for 1 day.

  I wore a tight bra 24/7 (except for showers!) for about 10 days and put cold cabbage leaves in my bra.  I had minimal discomfort and it worked for me.

  I heard its not good to bind your breasts. I am weaning from exclusive pumping and today I started drinking sage tea. I don't know if its helping because I am down to pumping one to two times a day. I hope to get good results tomorrow! I also used cabbage and it did help dry me up a little bit, but I got a rash. The cabbage did help with engorgement.
  

  Read these articles one and two they helped me a lot!

  And Motrin really helped for my pain.  And I would manually express milk 2-3 times per day, just enough so I wouldn't leak.
