Comments on: Single Mom in a Birth Class http://newsinglemama.com/299/single-mom-in-a-birth-class/ I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

My son wouldnt latch on right, and it was very painful to say the least.(Not to scare you or anything) SOme babies just latch right on and go to town!! But if you cant do it, dont be too hard on yourself, as long as you and Jack are happy and he's healthy, thats all that matters. The nurses at the hospital I delivered at kind of mad you feel like a worthless mother if you even mentioned formula, but just remeber its YOUR child and whatever you feel is right, definitely is the right thing to do.

He will figure it out and you two will get in the groove. I didn't go to any breastfeeding classes, except the one that WIC made me take and the little impromptu class the nurses at the hospital tried to teach me, and once Monkey and I got started and figured everything out - none of the things that I learned in the class or the nurses taught me worked for us!
