On another list that I subscribe to, there has been lots of talk
about underwired nursing bras. No one has said anything bad about
them. I however was under the impression that wearing an underwire
bra whilst breastfeeding was definately not the way to go, due to the
pressure against the lower ducts in the breast. Not only that but,
following the Bra Study report, I got the impression that anything
causing pressure against the breast, like tight straps or underwire,
was potentially a factor in making a woman more prone to getting
breast cancer. Am I on the wrong track here?
