I don't know if this is one of the usual things but, I take a
big deep breath, and as I blow out I relax my muscles.  When I'm
pumping milk I get a spray of milk with every deep breath out.
I have been told by Dr. C. Samuel West a lymphologist that one
of the best ways to move the lymphatic system are big deep
breaths!  At any rate, show me a stressed out mom who is told to
take bed rest and I'll show you a mom who stays stressed!  Ask
her to notice if she is holding her breath while nursing!
