Hi Lauren, being a mother who also practses I know how she feels. The main reason for this will be the fact that the breasts are gorged with milk at this time for her and her breasts are probably uncomfortable a lot of the time. Any pressure on them is going to be a painful experience and really not a good thing.I would avoid any such postures and give her something else. During her pregnancy she will have had to very much modify her practise and now she will need to get back to it slowly, listening to her body. Remember aswell that bandha control is very much weakened by pregnancy and birth so beware of hard backbends, again allowing her to come back to it slowly. There is also the slight possibility of hernia occuring if anything too strenuous is attempted, again listening to her body, regaining bandha control and encourage her to work with the breath so she is internally focused.
as for salabhasana and breast size, I have friends who are well sized and have no problem with it as long as there is no breast tenderness for other reasons.
