No one has mentioned turning while feeding... some friends of mine
suggested that when I had plugged ducts a few weeks ago.  They suggested
I use my very willing nursing three year old, lay him flat on his back
on the floor, and play "mama barnyard animal" by getting on all fours
and unlatching and rotating all the way around.  Might look silly but
it worked pretty well... uses gravity to help empty things out...
