birth & brassicas
September 25th, 2008 |As we all know cabbage leaves are a proven soother of sore, engorged, swollen breasts. Possibly not aware? Clearly you are either in the camp of people whose chests have at one point (or several) exuded slow-boiled cabbage odour, or you are not.
In any case, we visited a baby the other day who was piggy-backingĀ mama’s hormones and had a resultant swollen, red ‘breast’ of miniature proportions (perhaps wrong to find cute, but there it was, quite). Could she apply a piece of cabbage leaf to it? We thought that was an excellent idea, until I had an even more excellent idea. A stupdendously marvellous idea whose occurence put to rest all sorts of childhood musings I had about the miniature existence of some vegetables -
clearly, this occasion called for a brussel sprout
(and in other news – wavy haired and sublime boy baby inserted his hand into his mouth and sailed peacefully over his brand-new mother’s perfectly intact perineum into the sweet spring day. I usually don’t have nice things to say about textbooks, but this birth deserved the title, and moreso the title just delightful)
gratuitous shot for the grandmothers
