Hi Wendy,
I ran across this reference that might be helpful:
-----------
* Nicodem VC, Danziger D, Gebka N, et al. Do cabbage leaves prevent breast
engorgement? A randomized, controlled study. Birth 20: 2 June 1993, 61-64.
* Roberts KL, Retier M, Schuster D. A comparison of chilled and room
temperature cabbage leaves in treating breast engorgement. JHL 11: 191-194,
1995
* Roberts KL: A comparison of chilled cabbage leaves and chilled gelpaks in
reducing breast engorgement. JHL 11:17-20, 1995.
* Rosier W. Cool cabbage compresses. Breastfeeding Review, 1988, 28-31.
On another note, I've posted some new stuff on my web site www.bflrc.com. We
had technical problems for a long time and couldn't upload changes without
crashing the site completely.
