I'm half Irish. I have had cabbage, with corned beef and red potatoes. I've even had a green lime jello with shredded cabbage in it. One thing I've never done with cabbage is stick it in my BRA!!! And yet, this has been by far the most useful cabbage has been! I am not breast feeding (you can't nurse and be on the medication for RA) and finally on Friday, my milk somewhat came in. It was not the full and complete let-down that I was fearing, but I was definitely in pain. Sure enough, cabbage in the bra does the trick! Especially after being in the fridge, it feels so good. Isn't that the craziest old-wives tale proven correct?

Cabbage is a life saver huh- even if you do feel like a salad. She's a darling little girl and I hope you're feeling well.
That is so funny! I learn so much from you Sarah!
I've had other friends use that trick... isn't that crazy? I wonder who first figured that out?
Love that picture. I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been!
that is hilarious!! I love the picture! Did you do that? Hahahaha!
I say that when you're in that much discomfort, go with whatever works! We love your pictures of Brooklyn and think your family is adorable. I wish we could get our kids together, I think they'd have a blast!
Sweet....and glad you aren't suffering!
I LOVE cabbage when I have mastitis! It is a total pain reliever!! I love the picture!
I was told that but never remembered when it was my turn. I got some for a friend of mine after having a baby and it helped a ton! Hopefully I can remember this next time! Glad you are doing better!
Heather told me that the cabbage had worked for you. I tried frozen peas before, but it didn't help much. I'm soooo using this tip!
