Cabbage leaves therapy!-What a stink!
Alternative treatment to suppress lactation.
Mother's help.
As a concerned mom, I am always present when any of my daughters give birth to help them recuperate.
They are comfortable with my presence & trust my judgments.
On May 31st, 2002, I became the proud grandmother of my fifth grandbaby girl, Nyssa! What a delight!
Her mom could not breastfeed because she had a breast reduction at age nineteen.
She had two previous children, and her OB/GYN MD in Texas prescribed Bromocriptine to suppress lactation since there were no ducts for milk transport to the reconstructed nipples.
Now, having her baby in Oklahoma, the Nurse Practitioner at her MD’s office declined to write a prescription. She was afraid of the risks.
The OB/MD was on vacation.
The Nurse Practitioner promised us that packing the mom’s breasts with cabbage leaves & a tight breast binder is the best natural method to stop milk flow.
