Carolyn Lawlor-Smith LC/Dr South Australia I don't know if this is one of the usual things but, I take a big deep breath, and as I blow out I relax my muscles. When I'm pumping milk I get a spray of milk with every deep breath out. I have been told by Dr. C. Samuel West a lymphologist that one of the best ways to move the lymphatic system are big deep breaths! At any rate, show me a stressed out mom who is told to take bed rest and I'll show you a mom who stays stressed! Ask her to notice if she is holding her breath while nursing! -Joyce LLL in Utah USA
