Even after so many years I remember sighing - more so with each baby I 
breastfed - it was a sound of relief, how nice to take the weight off my 
feet and rest my back; I now have a good excuse to sit down and nobody can 
demand anything of me (that was defence against well-meaning adults, not 
children)
There may be a difference in the sigh level in each generation because the 
young mothers at least in my family and social circle and in the families of 
most of my clients  know that their breastfeeding time is sacred and nobody 
is going to try and cut it short or look at the clock hinting that dinner is 
not in the oven yet.
It will be interesting to know the reason for Diane`s research.
