Geezmo, dudes!

Milk is a fluid, right?  Mostly composed of water, right?

Water (for all intents and purposes as regards diving) is virtually
uncompressible, right?

Hydrostatic pressure is used to force the milk through openings in the
areolae, NOT pneumatic pressure, right?

So how would diving affect breast milk?  

Hell, even if bubbles did form, the kid would just burp it up, right?

It seems to me that while it is wise for pregnant women to stay out of their
scuba gear, once the young'un has left the womb, mama should be able to jump
right back in.

I happen to know a fine young man named Max whose mom dove during the time he
was breast feeding, and he's just great.

I ain't no doctor, but I'd tell my own wife to go ahead and dive all she
wants after the baby is born.

I for one think that wet thingies are happy thingies...

(thanks to Beavis for my acronym)
