Sore Boobs Life Hack

Girlies, I have to share this because it’s so so funny to me that this actually works and hopefully it’ll help some of you out 🙏 So my milks just come in and my boobs have been so so sore 🍼 When I saw the midwife on Friday she said to try cabbage leaves kept in the fridge … honestly it looks crazy but I promise you it really really works 😂 *Edit. Sorry I only just learnt this can dry up your milk so if you’re breastfeeding please don’t try this! 💕

I’ve heard this before but didn’t really believe it! Will remember when baby is here haha!

I used cabbage leaves to dry up my milk supply and the relief of that cold cabbage leaf feels sooo good!

Also did this! Best feeling ever

My mum said this the other day 🤣 I’m going to get some!!

Do you use this to dry up your milk or to help with the pain from engorgement? My boobs get so sore and engorged at night but I’m worried it will dry up my milk.

I’ve heard cabbage/lettuce is used to dry up milk supply?

@Ayesha Hey chick, I’m formula feeding so I’m not 100% sure if it would dry up milk if breastfeeding! I see my midwife today so I’ll double check with her for you! 💕

When I was a kid I used to get injections very often to the point that I briefly stopped walking. I remember my mum putting cabbage leaves on my legs to take away the soreness and bruises. It definitely works ☺️

My mum did this I remember she got mastitis she said it was very very painful. And she used cabbage leaves

Applying crushed cabbage leaves to your forehead if you have a headache works too!!

Cabbage leaves reduce milk production

Don’t use this method if you’re breastfeeding! It’s a trick used to help sore boobs and can dry up your supply x

I used to take frozen cabbage leave into work and get the funniest looks but I didn’t care the relief it gave was worth the stares 🤣🤣🤣 I used it when I was weaning my 1yo off breastfeeding.
