    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.
