- Place them directly onto your breasts, wrapping each breast with a cabbage leaf
- It is very important to leave the nipples naked. You will allow the skin around them to stay dry and intact
- Wear a bra just to hold them – you don’t have to lock it in the back
- Leave the leaves until you can no longer feel the cold, than take them off
If you are still breastfeeding, or pumping for your baby, don’t continue with the treatment for too long. That might cause decreases in your milk and harm the natural process of breastfeeding.
After your breasts feel relieved and the swelling has gone for now, stop the treatment for a while. Repeat it continuously, but let time pass between treatments.
