Hi Marie -
How old are the babies? Is the engorgement still within what we
would consider a
reasonable length of time, or has it gone on way too long? Have these
moms breastfed
other children or had multiple pregnancies? I think engorgement can
increase with
number of pregnancies. How long did you leave the cabbage on and how
many times a
day? I'm beginning to think the cabbage compresses have not worked for
the moms I see
because I've been too conservative with length of time and times per
day. Right now, I'm
still suggesting 20-30minutes, twice the first day, then maybe once more
the next. This is
in addition to warm shower, electric pump, and of course, frequent
nursing.
