I saw a mom in the 35th week of pregnancy with a mild case of engorgement. She says
she has not been doing anything such as pumping, expressing, or love-making which
would encourage it. The mom also says she has always been an over-producer with the
last two kids. Her last pregnancy was 4 years ago. The last time she nursed was
about 3 years ago. I was afraid to express because I didn't want to induce labor
and I also didn't want to get rid of any of the colostrum. Cabbage leaf/cold pack
treatments worked. I am puzzled by this. Has anyone ever seen this before? I am
not sure I did the right treatment. Susan in Ranana.
