Wow Astrid.. that's actually what I was saying too.. "I'm hoping to breastfeed". I hadn't thought about it! Yikes.. will be different for the next one!

My mum only fed for 6 weeks or so, and now that we're at 3 months, she's constantly asking how my supply is.. worried that it would have dwindled. I have to be careful about passing remarks I make around her, because she then worries about my supply. eg. I said to Tallon one day when he was being fussy and not having full feeds, that if he keeps this up he's gonna have to work harder tomorrow to get the supply back up. I was only half serious, and really just thinking of anything to say to him.. but mum ever since has worried that he's ruined my supply.

I guess all we can hope for is that our generation will independently educate ourselves, so that WE can then be the right support for the next generations. We've just got to tough it out for ourselves for a while I think
