Hi, all and Happy New Year! I don't have any further suggestions for the mom Janna's working with who has an overabundant supply and is slowly weaning. But I would like to ask fellow Lactnetters their opinion of breast binding as a method of "preventing engorgement" and/or assisting weaning. Some OB's here still recommend this method. Do any of you see aftereffects of this such as plugged ducts or subsequent mastitis? Also, doesn't all the binding/unbinding[add cabbage leaves]/rebinding constitute too much stimulation of the breast tissue and actually produce more milk? What if we just left the breasts alone as much as possible? Just musing.
