I did:</p> <p>Cabbage leaves stuffed in my nursing bra<br /> Sage tea. You get dry rubbed sage in the spice aisle and steep your own tea. I would make mine with honey and it didn't taste bad </p> <p>I can't remember exactly but I felt like within a week my supply was very very reduced. </p> <p>If you don't have anything preventing you from taking something stronger I've heard Sudafed (from behind the pharmacy counter) also works great at drying up your supply </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cabbage-leaves-for-weaning#post-2533031 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 10:51:10 +0000 pregnantbee 2533031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this, and I think it helped with engorgement. The cold of the leaves also felt really good. Change once they are too warm :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cabbage-leaves-for-weaning#post-2533029 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 10:33:11 +0000 RonjaL7 2533029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only bottle fed so I did this for a few nights when I got home. I had so many visitors and the leaves were clunky under my clothes that I didnt feel comfortable doing it during the day. I also got a Sams Club size box of peppermint patties and didnt let my chest hit the hot water of the shower (as best as possible). </p> <p>No idea if these things worked but the engorgement seemed to go away quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cabbage-leaves-for-weaning#post-2532964 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 01:38:02 +0000 808love 2532964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it when I was engorged, not weaning. It worked. :) Pick an appropriate sized cabbage leaf. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cabbage-leaves-for-weaning#post-2532963 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 01:37:09 +0000 Worrywart 2532963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone used cabbage leaves to help dry out when weaning from breastfeeding? Any tips to suggest? I'm ready to be done done done. </p>
