Catherine,
I worked with a mom about two years ago who was early postpartum with her
6th child. Her auxilliary breast went to about baseball size - each
pregnancy it got bigger. There was NO nipple tissue. In about 48 hours of
applying green cabbage, the mother felt the swelling had resolved. Previous
babies it had taken more than a week. I did encourage her to make certain
that the cabbage did not get onto the producing breast.
