You will prepare and submit a term paper on Missed Menstrual Period. Your paper should be a minimum of 1250 words in length. "If you ask a pregnant woman what is on her mind the most toward the end of her last trimester, and undoubtedly breastfeeding will come up. Today, over 85% of women all over the world are breastfeeding. While breastfeeding is mentioned as the best way to feed your baby, there are many misconceptions about this special relationship between infant and mother. Breastfeeding is a learned skill that both the mother and the baby need to practice many times before both fully know and understand the process. While breastfeeding is natural, it is not naturally known. Both the baby and mother need to acquire this skill. The key to a successful breastfeeding relationship is support". (Jacqui Gibson)

Enjoy this moment! Your baby has just been born. Place the baby skin to skin as soon as he or she is born. Your baby will instantly recognize your voice, your scent, your heartbeat. Put a warm blanket over you and your baby, your body heat will keep your baby as warm as he needs to be. Give your baby time to adjust to the new environment. Keeping your baby close will comfort him and give him a chance to feel safe enough to find his way to your breast. If you want to help him along, go for it. But do not be put off if your baby simply wants to "hang out" by the breast for a while before latching on. Breastfeeding within the first hour of birth is recommended, but each baby is different and some may need more or less time, especially if the birth was a difficult journey for him.

While you still have colostrum, all your baby needs is a teaspoon from each side at each feeding. Do not be persuaded to use formula, water, or any other substitute unless deemed medically necessary. Also, your baby should not have restrictions on how long or how frequent each feeding is. Your baby is determining his needs by nursing on demand, restricting him in any way may affect your supply later on. Throw that watch away and just enjoy your time together.

Once your milk has come in allow your baby once again to take the lead on how much he needs. Make sure to feed your baby frequently until he is gaining weight well, but do not worry if he only takes one side per feed or if he takes both sides over the course of two hours.
