No Savoy cabbage works. There is something in it and the texture of it too. You chill the leaves too. (make sure they get changed often or it really stinks.) I know!!
I don't know. I only used it in the hospital but as I was in observation I was stuck on my bed so I would have had them on for a couple off hours. Needless to say I didn't use them again but my antenatal group midwife says that it only smells if you don't change it enough
did I make it up???? . http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/mastitis1.shtml Don't know that it has to be savoy, but I was told you should avoid the nipple area... was very soothing as I remember... makes mental note to add cabbage to hospital bag packing list...
now they are not only hot they are lumpy. The leaky banger isn't - its the other one, And they are so uncomfortable - should i have a bra on or not. Remember - my boobs are huge.
this may sound bizarre but if you have a pump you could try expressing,,, but sounds like you ought to get them checked just in case. Are they more comfy in a bra? If not I wouldn't bother - except to hold those cabbage leaves on...
Well, I phoned the midwife today - I hate being a pussy but felt I had better check. And she said try not to keep them restricted, makes them sound like naughty kids, The bras I've got are maternity ones, but I'm wondering if they are stil to firm.. The lumps I've got are in the same place on each one, sounds awful but they are square shaped, but bigger on the unleaky one. I have ordered some sleep bras so I have a bit of support but nothing to tight. I had big boobs before, but now they are enormous, and I'm only 23 weeks.
