I don't think I have ever gotten through a consultation without
touching my own breasts at least once!  I have, on several occasions,
also hitched up my shirt to show new moms the correct fit of an
underwire bra...if the dad is in the room, I will ask that he turn his
back for a moment...

Nothing like a visual aid for getting the point across!
