Your mw should be able to give you something straight after birth. Talk to her

Yip, the MW should prescribe you a medication which will stop milk production but you may still get some leaking.

If your MW won't prescribe it just ask on the ward for it.

The pill works 80% of the time, so be prepared just in case it doesnt

Cabbage leaves are also supposed to help.

Someone recommended cabbage leaves to me to help with engorgement, but when I told my mw, she told me to not use it as it would diminish my milk (I was BF).

Yep they will give you the pill, I had it with #2. Still got leaking for a few weeks as I have a great supply (just can't feed) so had to wear padded, underwire and tight bras 24/7, and keep my hormones in check (hard to do). Sometimes that meant getting DH to feed the baby if she was crying way too much, as that always set off the milk.
