[blparent] Breastfeeding Class

[Star Gazer]

Melissa, 
This is feedback your breast feeding teacher needs to know. If she's a good
teacher (and she may not be) she'll appreciate your perspective. 
You shouldn't ever leave a class feeling more flustered and unsettled then
you did before you attended.

Melissa, my sons are grown, but I remember breast feeding when they were
infants almost 31and 28 years ago. I found that if I had my index finger on
their mouth and guided it to the nipple, it was OK. I wore a shield on one
side and that actually was my better side. I teach a parenting series of
courses for Hadley and often tell my students that theory and reading are
one thing but when you actually have your own baby to care for, a lot of
things will fall into place. If you would have any interest in our courses,
let me know.

Went to my Breastfeeding class today. In someways it's helpful but in others
it just made me more uneasy. The teacher did a good job with explaining
things non-visual but most of the her  what you need to look for was visual.
This made me feel uneasy about getting the latch needed for baby to be on
right. This is something I really want to do but worry that I am going to
mess it up or do something wrong. My hubby went with me that helped but I
feel more lost now then I did before I went. :-(  In a lot of ways blindness
changes how something is done. I know there are others that have no sight
and do fine. So I am not sure why I am so upset.
