La Leche League is an organization whose mission is to help mothers to breastfeed their babies. Their work is accomplished through a network of experienced breastfeeding mothers helping other breastfeeding mothers. As volunteers they provide information, encouragement and support to breastfeeding mothers. LLL does not promote nor endorse certain techniques or solutions to breastfeeding problems, but based on experience and the latest scientific research try to offer women effective alternatives for situations they encounter. In regards to cabbage leaves, although there are no scientific studies showing how or why cabbage leaves are effective in relieving engorgement in some women, many women have found them to be effective and they are an alternantive that mothers may want to try. It may be helpful to add a caution about unknown risks of over-using cabbage leaves and potential permanent reduction in supply that some women have experienced. La Leche League Leaders are welcome to share with information with women they help. I hope this clarifies LLLI position regardintg the use of cabbage leaves for engorgement. Thanks, Cathy Liles
