I am interested in hearing you wise folks' opinions on cabbage.  Here,
one of our local IBCLC's warns against using cabbage *before* the milk
comes in because she says she's seen people doing that, prophylactically
and calling her at like 10 days post partum with "still no milk".  She
says by all means use them, but only once the milk has actually come
in...and then only as much as necessary to make one's self comfortable.

What do you think of this...do any of you say similar things, or have
you noticed similar situations of cabbage before milk=no milk, or do you
just say "apply cabbage if needed"?

Thanks!
