Just came across this article <a href="http://lactinv.com/breastfeeding_qna.php?article=engorgement" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>, which mentions "Repeat application of cabbage leaves 4-6 times, for a total application time of 8 hours. Use the cabbage leaves only until the engorgement subsides. Prolonged use of cabbage leaves on the breast can reduce milk supply." Cabbage leaves need not be used once engorgement has subsided.

I read about it in their book "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding". I think it was something like no longer than 8 hours a day... I've never had to use cabbage leaves so I can't really remember...

It seemed to happen whenever I went out and missed one or two feeds. It is really a painful experience. The cabbage leaves help and the lactation <consultant> taught me how to massage the breast properly. I also suspect some of my ducts are blocked but I found no bleb. It took about a week to resolve the lump. I also experienced similar episodes a couple of times. It seemed to happen whenever I went out and missed one or two feeds.
