Thanks to Dawna for this Frugal Baby Tip!

I have heard from many many people, including my midwife that cabbage leaves
work! Just put them into your bra and leave them there. The only other choice is expressing some milk. Take some Tylenol if you need to. Don't let them stay full for too too long.

What worked for me was getting into the shower and letting the hot water pour
over them. After a few minutes, milk would begin to leak and the pressure would be relieved. Cold packs didn't work for me, some say they do though. Make sure that you empty your breasts to make sure that you don't drop your milk supply.

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.

Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!

If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
