Hi All,


Someone asked me a question today that I couldn't answer, but it sure made
me wonder......

Back in 'the old days' here in Holland, women who were *bottle feeding*
were advised to use a lot of 'spirits of camphor' cream on their breasts.
This was supposed to *get rid* of the milk. Today several women told me
that sagging, shrunken breasts ("since then I've got tea-bags hanging
there") were a side-effect of its use.
Such a side-affect from only the use of the cream seems a little extreme to
me, but on the other hand..... cabbage leaves have great results.

Is there anybody out there who can enlighten me????

TIA,

Renate Rietveld IBCLC
