Here' what you wrote:
"I'm a bit reluctant to use softening of the breast,
because it implies there has to be fullness/firmness before we can bf,"
You bring up a good point! For a minute there, I was thinking that this
might be a better description than"emptying the breast but you are right!
I love all of the analogies that everyone has presented but I rarely have
the luxury of a sentence or two or three to describe this. I'm more and
more convinced that there is no word that adequately, accurately
describes this thing we know as "emptying the breast."
