[blparent] Discomfort help!

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi Melissa.  I can't say I've tried it because I haven't needed to.  But I 
had a great lactation consultant at the hospital when my baby was born, and 
she said if you got feeling painfully full, take the outer leaves of a green 
cabbage, cut holes for the nipples to poke through, and put them on your 
breasts.  (Purple cabbage works, too, but it stains the skin.)  The 
lactation consultant didn't know why it worked, but she said it was the best 
remedy she'd ever found.  Good luck!

It is easy--terribly easy--to shake a man's faith in himself. To take 
advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work. Take care of what 
you are doing. Take care.--George Bernard Shaw in "Candide"
