Nagulesapillai, McDonald, Fenton, Mercader & Tough (2013) examined and compared breastfeeding difficulties that were attributable to the baby and mother/milk and exclusive breastfeeding between a group of late preterm (LP) infants and term infants. The results show that mothers of late preterm infants need increased support to establish successful breastfeeding outcomes and to ensure that these neonates receive the full benefits of breast milk. Also, late preterm infants were less likely to report exclusive breastfeeding at four months who were breastfeeding discharged, and late preterm status was an independent risk factor for breastfeeding difficulties attributable to the baby. This article relates to the diagnosis because the article analyzes infants that are
breastfeed agree that they feel a closer bond with their children after breastfeeding and are able to better understand their child’s wants (Newman and Pitman 14). In The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that breastfeeding can reduce risk of postpartum depression, a condition that affects 13 percent of mothers, causing them to be upset and even angry at their child for crying, as well as other serious symptoms that can affect the mother’s mental state (3). They also found that a

Two authors independently evaluated each article for relevant using a predefined set of criteria. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were specified and were appropriate for the review. The researchers were concerned with the effect education and support for the mothers had on the exclusive breastfeeding rates of healthy newborns. Inclusion criteria included randomized controlled trials (RCT) or quasi-experimental trails. The types of articles included are those that discussed interventions through education or support given to the mother prenatal/postnatal, or a combination. All delivery types were included. For
Cue based feeding refers to nipple feedings that are initiated in reaction to an infant's behavioral cues and comes to an end when the infant demonstrates satiation (Drenckpohl, Dudas, et al, 2009). The aim of the Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is to provide mothers with sufficient factual information regarding superior infant nutrition, therapeutic and immunological
While Jamal is blessed in terms of his talents, his life path is drastically different depending on schools that he attends. This section addresses the role of schools in interrupting and/or reinforcing social reproduction by comparing the impacts of the public school and the private school on Jamal’s life. In the public school, Jamal is satisfied with being a mediocre student, regardless of his talents. In this sense, considering students in this public school share similar socioeconomic background as Jamal – black, poor, and working class family, it is arguable that the public school is reinforcing the social reproduction and curbing personal developments. That is, public school education has little help with social mobility, and these kids are more likely to end up with the same socioeconomic status as their parents.
“Some mothers have to give up breastfeeding even though they want to breastfeed. To give up breastfeeding can be a sensitive issue in a time when breastfeeding is promoted as the healthiest for mother and child” (Larsen & Kronborg, 2013, p. 848). The debate over whether breast-feeding is better than bottle-feeding or vice versa has been a debate for many years. With more and more research that is continuously being developed, the option to breast-feed or bottle-feed is ultimately up to the parents of the child. Although the decision could be based on factors such as a physical incapability or financial burdens, the end result should always be what is going to be best for the baby. As research continues to grow, there has been proven evidence of the positive and negative aspects that come with breast-feeding and bottle-feeding.
To be successful, the mother should initiate breastfeeding as soon as possible after delivery (Nagtalon-Ramos, 2014). The mother should be taught the many breastfeeding positions by healthcare staff (Nagtalon-Ramos, 2014). These positions are as follows: Cradle hold, cross cradle or transitional hold, clutch or football hold, and the side lying position (Nagtalon-Ramos, 2014). Allowing the infant to consume no other food or drink other than breast milk will help to promote successful breastfeeding (Nagtalon-Ramos, 2014). Furthermore, having the mother and baby together twenty-four hours a day and breastfeeding on demand will assist in successful breastfeeding
The audience intended for this paper are mothers that have a desire to breastfeed, employers, clinicians, breastfeeding advocacy groups and federal and state legislators involved in policy change.
The Handmaid’s Tale additionally brings the biology perspective on rape into the novel. The explanation for the commander having, what is basically forced, sex with Offred is for reproductive purposes in order to populate the society. The novel even brings in the social cultural view of rape culture as well by showing us that the commander also wanted “forced” sex for other reasons such as lust or romance. Therefore, making the novel’s approach more combine, similarly to Owen D. Jones. The Handmaid’s Tale ultimately still can help spark conversations about rape culture that have to grow and develop in order to make progress with the issues of rape culture.

Drug abuse is something that has plagued Americans over the years and continues to be an issue today. The hippie culture of the 1960s contributed to a rise in drug abuse. In addition, the Vietnam war created an awareness that servicemen were coming back to America addicted to Heroin. The Drug Abuse Prevention Treatment & Rehabilitation Act “states that control of drug abuse requires the development of a comprehensive, coordinated long term federal strategy that encompasses both effective law enforcement against illegal drug traffic and effective health programs to rehabilitation victims of drug abuse”(US Legal, 2016, para 2). The Harrison Narcotic Act of 1914 was the first ban on the distribution of drugs and in 1919 the alcohol prohibition
In completing post-class questionnaires, participants scored significantly higher for breastfeeding knowledge, rated breastfeeding as significantly more important, and cited significantly higher confidence levels in breastfeeding than in pre-class questionnaires. In the 6-week postpartum interview, 70 of the original 153 mothers were interviewed. 91% were

Breastfeeding is an experience that is foreign for most people until they actually experience it. I had limited knowledge of breastfeeding until I interviewed my friend who currently has two children. Before she had her first child, she read a lot of books and watched a lot of videos, but they still didn’t quite capture the experience. She is a nurse and with her healthcare background, she felt confident about the importance of breastfeeding her children, especially in the first 6 -12 months. Before her baby, she was worried about the physical process and what it would feel like. After birth, she was more worried about her baby being able to breastfeed. For the first few weeks, her baby was having a hard time breastfeeding and she had to occasionally
