Milk Came In/Cabbage Trick

in Late Term and Child Loss
So my milk came in and my OB told me to freeze cabbage leaves, place them on my breasts and to change them out once they got warm. It's supposed to dry out your breast milk.
I do notice a difference but holy smokes does it make you stink!!!! Just posting this is a warning to anyone who might try it. I've noticed the pain stopped at least for now but I smell like onions.
Good luck ladies!

    Cabbage leaves worked great for me. However my sweet husband and my father both thought it was so funny that they needed to share the information with all sorts of random people.... Thanks for the privacy guys!
