I believe they are talking about wearing a snug supportive bra and not
breast compression that we use to increase milk flow/milk transfer. I know
the concept of breast binding is controversial, however if I am not
mistaken there have been some (or one) more recent study showing it
works.??? Most postpartum nurses will tell you it really works and it is
often done with a velcro binder not ace wraps and it is fitted snug but not
really tight. Does any one know of evidence-based info? I wonder if the
lack of contact between mother and infant due to that thick fabric and then
clothing over it, has anything to do with the involution?
