That is very interesting although I doubt she’d tolerate it. I wonder what the science is behind that?
OK, Mamma is comfortably asleep, the kittens are literally climbing the curtains, and I’m going for a run, and then to woship the Lord my God who delighted in making such adorable little kittens for our pleasure!
Thank you so much all of you and I will post updates later today.
PS These kittens, born of a stray alley cat, have more documentation of their date and place of birth than the president of the United States. I’m just sayin....
“The cabbage belongs to the ‘Brassicacae Family’ and contains mustard oil, magnesium, oxalate and sulphur heterosides. Sulphur in amnio acid methionine acts as an antibiotic and anti-irritant, which in turn draws an extra flow of blood to the area. This dilates the capillaries and acts as a counter irritant, thus relieving the engorgement and inflammation and allowing milk to flow freely.”
La Leche League and just about every other breastfeeding group also advocates cabbage for engorgement. No side effects, just relief for mom. Because it is so effective and has been used forever for this purpose it is being studied as a cure for breast cancer, internal use, proven effective in rats. http://carcin.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/11/7/1159
