help keep leaking but dont breastfeed

veteranswife

I had really sore painful enlarged breast that past within 2 or 3 days but I have been leaking like crazy since Thursday. Any tips how to dry up the milk? I been wearing a snug tide bra day and night and wrap them as well so any other tips welcome. Thanks

@mama0811 how does that work?

You will have to do the cabbage leaves for a few days. If you crush the spines so the cabbage juice is on your breasts it will help and you can bind your breasts to keep them from getting bigger. (Although sometimes it's nice to let em hang out lol) and you can change the leaves everytime they thaw.

@mommanouchee theirs an enzyme in cabbage leaves that helps dry up breast milk or sometimes you can use it to decrease your milk supply when ur engorged.

@blissmarie23 so I just cut a cabbage leaf and lay it on my boobs?

You have to wait until after you've had the baby and your milk has come in (usually at about 2-4 days) and then you would take a frozen cabbage leaf and smash the veins in it then just lay it in your bra cups and strap the sistas down.
