Advantages: soothes

Disadvantages: none

This review is specifically for savoy cabbage - it is to help any pregnant women out there who plan to go onto breastfeed - believe it or not this is recommended by many woman as a natural soother to put down your bra at the start of breastfeeding when you are really tender. The fact that it is a natural product and contains nothing that will do any harm to the baby is just such a plus aswell. I didnt believe it when a Mum told me this but soon i found myself sending my husband to Tesco and me keeping a stash of them in the fridge just for these initial weeks. When i spoke to my midwife she also said it was an old fashioned remedy but the best by fae and costs far less than any gel packs that may be advertised in mothering nagazines - if you are tender and have nothing to loose i swear by the good old sayoy as a pain soother!

Summary: a fab solution to tenderness at first satges of breastfeeding
