Soothing remedies

I remember last time being sore. Ive got lots of lanolin cream but I gad to use cabbage leafs

I think recent studies have found cabbage leaves can reduce milk supply ('dry it up') so new recommendation is usually to use the gel pads that you can either warm up or chill instead. Or use a cold wash cloth.

Do look into it, my BFing knowledge is a little rusty now (I did training 8 years ago), but I'm sure they don't recommend cabbage leaves any more x
