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.
