I was reading Hales New book which I just got today.  It is great everyone
should have one.   I was reading about the treatment options for mastitis and
noticed the recomendation that moms don't wear a bra the first week
postpartum when the risk of milk stasis and subsequently mastitis is highest.
 In my shop we sell nursing bras along with all kinds of breastpumps  and
breastfeeding products.  I have allways thought this would be best. I have
difficulty talking mothers out of an underwire bra, let alone have them go
braless.  We really push the use of the sleep bra during the first week.
Does anyone know if this info is documented anywhere else?  Or is it just
common sense but moms just don't listen?
