    ::grin:: i got a kick out of this, anne, imagining the two of you,
hampered by language, squirting milk at each other to communicate! the
wondrous "alternative" uses of breastmilk! LOL

    there have been times with both of my lactation experiences, early in
the postpartum period, when i would simply be standing, naked, and squirt a
foot or more in front of me without even touching my breasts! (yes, i did
have overactive letdown problems!!) even now, at 8 months postpartum, i can
squirt 6-8 streams of milk 4-5 feet manually at any given moment. i love it,
it makes my 8 year old giggle, and my husband just rolls his eyes. ::grin::
