Have heard that cabbage leaves are supposed to help relieve pain withh engorgement, am wondering if this works.....also warm compresses to help ease milk flow.....

Yes, weird as it is, it does work, especially if you keep the cabbage in the fridge......it was a life saver for me when DD was tiny

though do remember to take them out before leaving the house, & not go out with them poking out of a lowish cut top - as I once did for an impromptu drink, much to the amusement of my gay friend, who thought it great fun,NOT to tell me Hmm :)
