I’ve done that before. Matter of fact I had my second daughter right at the end of the semester, and my professors wanted to give me a academic withdrawal for maternity. I was like “Naw, I’ll be back after delivery”, I went thru the whole semester just NOT to get a grade? Whatever… So sure enough, I bundled my snuggie bear (like 5 days old) up in blankets, feed her real good, had the breast milk pumped in a bottle, and off to class with a stroller we went. She was a newborn, so she didn’t make much of a fuss anyway. I made sure to sit in the back and wore my glasses so I can see the lecture board. I was NOT playing

I really appreciate the advice! I’ve just recently started reading your blog, and it’s helped me to mentally prepare for life as a young parent and understand what I need to do to plan for Baby. Thanks so much!

OMG!… I was so nervous while reading your comments/review about Professor, May I Bring My Baby to Class? At the end of your post, I let out a big sigh of relief. I’m so happy you like the book and can relate to the stories. Yes, I’m the author…It took me over two years to write the book. I get goose bumps every time I hear it helped someone in their educational journey. Professor, May I Bring My Baby to Class? is all about inspiring young mothers to continue their education in spite of their circumstances. It’s about pushing pass the… “I think, I’ll try, I might,” to the “I know, I will, I can…” Remember, your decision to complete your education today will impact your children and future generations to come! I’d love to donate another four copies.

Warmly,
Sherrill W. Mosee

@Amber – I didn’t even know (or think) to ask permission. It was either bring the baby with me or miss the exam. So I brought her with me, sat in the back, and hoped for the best! And it worked out. I wouldn’t do it all the time, but if you’re in a pinch, I think it should be okay as long as the kid is not disruptive, like you said. Best of luck to you!!!!!

I too could really use this book! I’m currently a college student halfway through my Bachelor’s degree, and hoping to finish it up in the next few years (slower, now that I have a little one on the way – surprise!). I didn’t even know bringing a baby to class was allowed. As long as they’re not disruptive, I suppose it would be okay?

This is definitely a guide I need to read! If I don’t win, I will have to try and pick up a copy. Thanks for the heads up (:

That was so nice of your professor to do that for you.As i was reading i said to myself awwww. I tried twice to go back to school and finish when i was pregnant with both my daughters. I didn’t finish and i felt like a failure.I had to take care of them,without help from there dad.I finally came to the realization that without a degree i was not going to able to make a descent living for them off the little retail experience i had in my teen years.Now i am back in college and days away from my degree.

I would LOVE to win this book. I was 22 when I had our daughter – I was one year into doing my PhD… Recently, I found out I failed my final exam. I get the option to re-write part of my thesis in 6 months – extremely hard with a full time job and now-2year old.

I do think this book should be given to every student Mum when they give birth! I wish I had found this book 3 years ago..but no doubt this book would give me the energy to persevere when now times are even harder.

I so would love to have this book. After having my son my decision to go back to school was pushed back. I am finally getting around to starting the process of returning. I was hesitant at first but I am finally building up the courage to get it done. .-= Sheena´s last blog ..Doesn’t take much to please my child =-.
