I think kellymom said 3x day/20 min for cabbage for engorgement. I've only ended up doing it twice and ::crosses fingers:: the engorgement seemed rather better this morning (and I have a happy full dozy baby, hence my answering comments ::grin::) so I think I've gotten away with it. Honestly, once I first heard about it, I was totally like "I have to try that at some point", just because, I don't know, it's this wacky low-tech solution, and how often do you have an excuse to stick cabbage in your bra?
I hope Juniper does not become a vampire, that seems like it would make it even more difficult to ever leave the house (during the daytime)...
I was hoping to get a free sample of lanolin in the hospital so I could inner-arm test it before buying any - I *think* the last time I had hand lotion with lanolin in it, it irritated my skin, so I'm reluctant to put any directly onto my nipples without a good 24-hour allergy test, because that would Not Be Helpful. But it never materialized. Probably still worth buying some to test, though, thanks.
