Lactnet is so cool!  First there's the post about mothers using oxytocin
nasal spray pumping 3.5 as much milk as the controls, then there's the one
about thumbsucking during labor speeding the process by increasing oxytocin!

Isn't the obvious next step to suggest thumbsucking during pumping as a
way to maximize output?  I can't wait to suggest it to someone who can
handle the idea.  I just can't picture double-pumping with thumb in mouth.
 Hey, for those who find it too weird, how about sucking on a lollipop
during pumping?  Or even sucking on a lollipop during nursing, for those
who need a boost?  Lactnet is so cool!
