Breastfeeding blunders

Phew only 4 weeks to go till Due date.
I’ve been reflecting a lot lately while getting myself ready psychologically and preparing myself physically by packing my case. I have come a long way since the early days of my pregnancy when I had selfish regrets about falling pregnant in the first place. I still often think that we could be more financial prepared for this but I guess the powers that be think we are ready to become parents and so we have been blessed.
I am still a little apprehensive about the labour itself but am determined not to get too stressed out about it so I can be as relaxed as possible on the day. I’ve started drinking raspberry leaf tea in the hope that it will help the second stage of labour be less painful, quicker and overall easier.
I have also been thinking a lot about when the baby arrives and breastfeeding has been top of my thoughts. I am very glad that I have had leaky boobs since about 5 months and hope it is a sign that I will be able to produce lots of milk. I think one of the reasons why I seem to already be producing milk is because I spend most of my day without a bra on, the freedom my breasts have allows the milk to come easier. Through experience I have noticed that when I do wear a bra which most of the time is for less then 2 hours a day I don’t leak as much. This of course is my theory on the whole thing, but I think it makes sense.
A couple of shocking things I have heard lately which makes me angry is firstly of a woman who stopped breast feeding her baby when the baby was only about a month old because she wanted to start smoking again. I think that is disgusting and the most irresponsible thing any mother can do. Grrrrr.
The second thing I heard was of a mother, during her 3 day stay in the hospital, after giving birth she had milk to feed her baby, but the baby wasn’t taking to her so the hospital gave the baby a bottle and gave the mother some medication to stop her producing milk. WHAT!!!! Isn’t that insane??? Instead of taking the time to work out where the mum was going wrong they just took the easy option and have now taken away her chance of ever trying to breast feed that baby again by pumping her with medication to stop what is perfectly natural.
