Dear Jan and others who read my "cabbage leaf" posting, Yes, I stand corrected, many times over. It's nice to have so many people care, I mean that. Now I know, CABBAGE LEAVES ARE FOR ENGORGEMENT, not for sore nipples. I had heard about the use of cabbage leaves from a two-week postpartum mom in another area whose LC had told her about it. I have no idea where the information became messed up, but the idea was intriguing to me, and I was sure if I could find it, it would be in Lactnet. Thanks for listening, folks. As I told many who wrote me, ignorance is curable. Susan Betz
