It was one of the cooler, misty mornings when I delivered a beautiful newborn on October 13, 2014 at 9:54 in the morning. This newborn baby was a precious baby girl, and I decided to name her Kassidy. When I first delivered Kassidy, I was excited, yet nervous that this newborn would be all of my responsibility. Also, I assumed that it cannot be very difficult to fulfill a baby’s needs and care for it. Therefore, I was excited for Kassidy to be my responsibility, and for me to be her mother! I chose to bottle-feed baby Kassidy. The reasons of why I chose to bottle-feed include the fact that when you bottle-feed a baby, the baby will not be hungry again for three to four hours. Though if you breastfeed, the baby will not be hungry again for only two to three hours. Also, I chose to bottle-feed because, then my babysitter will be able to feed the baby when I am not there. Therefore, bottle-feeding best fit for my schedule and my …show more content…
Then, we arrive at school, and we head to first hour, which is English class with Mr. Spinks. At his class is usually when Kassidy needs a diaper change and feeding. Next, we arrived at Spanish with Mrs. Smith and then child development with Mrs. Holcomb. During this part of the day Kassidy is usually sleeping. Then, we go to geometry with Mrs. Roberts, and this is the hour Kassidy is the most fussy and difficult. I usually take her out into the hall at least three times. There, she receives a diaper change, usually two rockings, and a feeding. Next, Kassidy is dropped off at daycare with Mrs. Holcomb, while I go to physical education class. Then, we have lunch, which is where she is a little fussy and wants to be rocked. Then during SRT, biology with Mr. Starrett, and world history with Mr. Ellenginwood, where Kassidy is fine. Lastly, Kassidy comes home and receives four or five changes and feeding, then she goes to

This chapter talks about the development of children. It starts out talking about how in just 2 year a child goes from being helpless, little, and not really doing anything. To running, jumping, talking, playing, hugging, and kissing. In just 2 years a helpless baby becomes a human. The brain is the thing that controls the whole body from making a childes hands work to making them grow in size. The head of the child develops more quickly than the rest of the body. After 8 weeks of conception the head of the baby makes up half of its length. The brine develops more quickly than that the spinal cord. As the child grows in size they also grow in the ability to pick things up, and to move. The most dramatic weight and high change happens while the kid is in
There are so many more perks to breastfeeding as opposed to formula feeding. Mothers are not educated enough prior to giving birth and they sometimes feel it is just easier to formula feed. A lot of hospitals are quick to just give a newborn a formula bottle if a mother is unsure how she wants to feed or if she is afraid to breastfeed just because she is unsure how. I think more mothers would
My daughter’s name is Peyton Lynn Hetherington. Peyton had a normal birth. Labor was about ten hours long, and given naturally. A natural birth is a group of techniques aimed at reducing pain and medical intervention and making childbirth as rewarding as possible (Harris, Sara). I am proud that my "team" could make use of the natural childbirth breathing and relaxation techniques. My partner and myself were amazed at our angel Peyton. My partner and I are adapting well thus far with the new addition to our family. We are taking turns with Peyton and my partner has been very helpful.

The Child Development Center of College of San Mateo provides early care and educational programs for children between the ages of 3 to 5 years old. Children are divided into classrooms with a “master” teacher, a “regular” teacher, and two or three “associate” teachers. Klara attended Classroom, “A,” a stimulating and well-resourced classroom. Klara was observed for two hours on Monday from 9 am to 11 am and for two hours on Wednesday from 9 am to 11 am. During these two hours, classroom activities consisted of “free time,” “story time,” and an outside “play time.” A “master” teacher, a “regular” teacher, and two “associate” teachers were present during observations. Additionally, a total of eighteen children were in attendance during the observed days.
When we meet a specific person; the first thing we notice is their appearance, and as we get to know them we get to see their personality and actions. It is how we get to know that person, and how we see a mental image when thinking of them. With this in mind, my two-year-old daughter, Kinsley, is one of the best things that has happened to me. Ever since I was younger, I could see myself having a daughter to nurture and watch grow into the person she will become. For example, she already has a distinctive appearance, personality, and actions that make her into her own little person. With that in mind, these are Kinsley’s personal appearance, personality, and actions that make her into her own distinctive person.
Congratulations! Now that you have passed the stage of pregnancy, you now face the big question on whether to breast feed or bottle feed your child. According to The World Health Organization it’s highly recommended that mothers breastfeed their child until the age of two. (Berk 100) Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong in bottle feeding your child with formula milk. There are cases in which mothers aren’t always able to breast feed their children right after birth, for example, they might have medical issues that may prevent them from breast feeding. Or in some cases early childbirth.
W. S. Ross once said “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.” As simple as this quip may sound, its complex implications are amplified through the life of every person born since the beginning of humanity. What attribute makes a mother such an extraordinary influence over her young? One such attribute is the ability to nurture. Beyond the normal challenges of cooking, cleaning, schooling, singing, feeding, and changing is the motivation by which such sacrifices are made possible. One cannot raise a child without mutual respect. Emotion and anxiety must drive her instincts. Her ability to foster is only heightened by minute personal imperfections and overwhelming responsibility that lead to a lack of confidence. Yet the prevailing characteristic that separates a ‘birth giver’ from a ‘mother’ is the unconditional, undying, and at times underestimated love for her child. To be a mother in the purest sense, she must embrace this notion of nurture.
It was August 25, 2006 and I just received the news that I was going to have a baby. At that moment so many thoughts ran through my mind. I was extremely nervous and terr...
There are many different areas to consider when preparing for and having a newborn. Whether the pregnancy was planned or unplanned or the couple is married or not, a newborn baby brings new responsibilities. Having a baby also forces people to make adjustments both financially and within the family. Parents also express concerns and expectations when having a newborn comma especially when it is their first; including what roles each parent and family member should play, how much confidence they have in their parenting skills, and how much financial strain would be placed on the family once the newborn has arrived. The newest issue in today’s society is the fact that many women are delaying childbirth and having more children in their later years of life.
B. Client will learn different positions for breast feeding that may make the process easier for her.
At the time, my wife Jeanne was pregnant with our soon-to-be daughter Tahlyn. We had waited eight long months for her to arrive, and finally her due date was getting closer and closer. The excitement grew stronger as the days went by.
Healthcare providers witnessing the birth of a child are not only witnessing an infant take its first breathe, but also the changes in a family, primarily a mother. Ramona T. Mercer sees becoming a mother as a very elaborate, and life-long experience. Mercer developed the Maternal Role Attainment Theory (MRA), which was later renamed Maternal Role Attainment Theory- Becoming a Mother (BAM). Her theory provides a framework for mother and infant bonding throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Mercer (2004) believes that each mother will have a unique experience in adapting to her new role, following a four step process and may be influenced by several factors including maternal age, socioeconomic status, and health status (p. 227). Ramona Mercer’s research is very well known in the maternal-child field of nursing and current practice is still based on her research (Beal, Freda 2005).
Child Birth can be a beautiful, yet unimaginable experience any mother and family member can encounter. It is a process of emotional and social involvements that make-up a natural human being. The familiarity of childbirth can play an important role in life for every individual, especially the mothers who are in labor or in delivery. Each moment during labor will become memories for the mothers to share with their grown up child in the future. Childbirth is a breath taking experience that can change someone’s life forever. The process of childbirth does not occur in a blink of an eye; in fact, it is more of a procedure that may take a few steps. Some mothers during labor, experience a severe amount of pain that medication can control and some
