> Fill an empty glass Cranberry - juice sized jar (about 1 liter and 5 cm opening)
> with very hot water.
> The glass will become very hot and now needs to be held with a towel.
> She then uses a cool washcloth to cool down the rim and upper part of the jar so
> that it can touch her without burning (I have her test it with her inner arm).
> She then puts it to her breast and holds it (some moms lean over a table to do
> this, others just hold it in their laps on a pillow and lean forward).
> As the air cools inside the jar, it draws the breast in with a vaccuum and milk
> begins to come out.


I actually tried this 12 years ago.  It was extremely painful.  Knowing
what I know now, I believe that the suction pressure became too high.
