Milk supply and baby wearing connection??

[Kitt3n]

yep - the closer you are, the more skin to skin contact you have, the more milk you will produce even if bubs just has their little mouth breathing on your chest it is skin to skin contact which generates an hormonal reaction in you

I think so, i also think that the constant pressure on my chest lead to recurrent bouts of mastitis. As i wore my ds very tightly 18 hours a day for weeks, and kept getting mastitis, i'm really sure its because my boobs didn't get any space/relief.

This makes sense: baby wearing and increased supply. I found that anything that got my upper body circulation going faster helped me make more milk... weeding, lifting and carrying etc. The extra excercise of carrying your baby would increase circulation... and I guess that's what nature intends.
