Every new mother looks forward to breastfeeding her new baby. This is one of the important periods that she plans before the birth of the child. While some may be successful in their efforts, most of us are unable to breastfeed for the number of days we originally planned or do not breastfeed at all.
There are many reasons why women stop breastfeeding earlier than planned. Bad latching technique, enlarged nipples, swollen nipples, etc. Although you may learn latching techniques on the job, you’re at a loss when it comes to breast enlargement and swelling. You can use creams and gels to soften your nipples, but you’ll wipe them off before they start working to feed your baby (which happens all the time). The use of painkillers and antibiotics during breastfeeding is strictly prohibited unless prescribed by a doctor. So what really is the solution to this universal problem? It’s right there in your kitchen – cabbage leaves. Yes, you read that right. Many women around the world use this natural and effective method to reduce breast cancer. In fact, a recent study confirmed that cold cabbage leaves have positive effects in relieving breast congestion, pain, and breast swelling (1). Research conducted on nursing mothers aged 13 to 50 years has shown that applying cabbage leaves to the breast not only helps reduce soreness and stiffness, but also prolongs breastfeeding as it relieves pain quickly. It’s in 20 minutes!
