Yee-ouch, that doesn't sound like it's been fun for you at all!  Hope the weaning goes well and you don't end up with another infection.  That's sooo not what you need when you've got a newborn!  I've been told that the cabbage leaves are most effective if you keep the cabbage stored in the fridge, and if it helps, my daughter had green/black poops for some time after starting on a formula.  Her dietician said it's OK.

Green poos are normal for starting a formula or changing to a new one. It takes their bodies a little while to adjust to something different.

Sam had dark green almost black poos when I changed his formula, but since going back to the Karicare Gold Plus, his poos are normal.

Good luck. I just dropped a feed each day and hand expressed a little in the shower at night under hot water to relieve the pressure.]]> Sat, 25 Aug 2007 14:36:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10193&PID=203036&title=changing-from-breast-to-formula#203036 <![CDATA[Changing from breast to formula : slowly wean down how often you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10193&PID=203012&title=changing-from-breast-to-formula#203012 Author: mum2paris

slowly wean down how often you are feeding or expressing, if you stop suddenly, you'll be left with engorged breasts and by the sounds of things, you'd end up with more infections.]]> Sat, 25 Aug 2007 13:46:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10193&PID=203012&title=changing-from-breast-to-formula#203012 <![CDATA[Changing from breast to formula : I&#039;ve heard (my MW told me...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10193&PID=202920&title=changing-from-breast-to-formula#202920 Author: ShellandBella

I've heard (my MW told me this) that cabbage leaves are wonderful at 'drying' up your milk...so much so that if you're still breastfeeding and you use them, be careful not to use them longer than 20 mins otherwise you won't have any milk left!! So, give it a try, sounds like it may be a perfect remedy to stopping your milk coming in...
