Personal Narrative: End Of Simulation
End of Simulation Paper The real baby was quite an experience. I have always wanted a baby to play with, take everywhere, spend late nights with, rock it when he/she is crying, and all of everything. Bad and good. I always knew that was what I wanted. I never decided on a time frame, but I always wanted one. When I got the baby, my experience was not good, but definitely not bad. I was tired and cranky. I was on edge and just annoyed. When the baby started crying during class, I felt embarrassed and upset. Why did it have to cry then? I felt like everyone was judging me on how well I handled it. They were judging what I looked like, how the baby looked, how I handled him crying, what I said to him, and more. I didn't want him to cause …show more content…
This milk is often a gold or yellow color and is thick. The amount may seem very small however it is the right amount for the size of your baby's stomach. The nutrients in breast milk changes as your baby gets older. The colostrum turns into mature milk about 5 days after the birth of your child. It has just the right amount of fat, water, protein, and sugar to help your baby grow. It isn't as thick as colostrum, yet provides all the nutrients and antibodies he or she needs to grow up healthily. Milk straight from the breast of the mother is very easy on the baby's digestive system. The proteins in formula take adjustment time for the baby's stomach to digest them properly. Lastly, the hormones and antibodies in breast milk can not be matched in formula, so the babies on breast milk have a lower risk of getting lower respiratory infections, asthma, type 2 diabetes, and childhood …show more content…
It is extremely time consuming to breastfeed a child. Many women work full-time or go to school and since the mother will be unable to breastfeed due to other responsibilities, she must use a breast pump to get the milk for her baby. Women need to pump when they would normally breastfeed to keep ahead of the baby's feeding schedule. The baby is often teething, and will chew on anything you put near his/her mouth, causing you great pain or discomfort. Along with that, there is drying, splitting and cracking of the nipple that goes along with the constant sucking. Breastfeeding reduces estrogen production, and a lack of that hormone can cause vaginal dryness, which makes sex uncomfortable. You also have very limited choices of which birth control you can use while breastfeeding because it will reduce your milk's quality and quantity. There are also a number of medicines and foods that should not be consumed while breastfeeding. Alcohol suppresses lactation, can harm motor development, and can affect the baby's eating and/or sleeping habits. Caffeine is almost impossible for a baby's body to break down, especially in the first few months of life, and it can make your baby unable to sleep. Aloe, mistletoe,

    Breastfeeding is an optimal approach in providing the nutritional requirements as well as well as providing immunity and positive long-term benefits. Breastfeeding provides the infant with all the necessary nutritional requirements for infants up to six months. For infants greater than six months in an addition with the introduction of solid foods is “an ideal feeding program” (American Dietetic Association, [ADA] 2009). Breastfeeding is lower in the United States than in other countries. One of the reasons is the increase in accessibility of formula. “Breastfeeding rates declined sharply because of the widespread belief that pasteurized cow’s milk eliminated the differences between human and cow’s milk feeding” (Wolf 2003 [as cited in ADA, 2009]). Many organizations are in support and promote breastfeeding for example, Center for Disease Control and Healthy People with goals of increasing the rate of breastfeeding mothers. Multiple benefits result from breastfeeding for both infant and mother. The ADA (2009) list multiple benefits; for example, bonding between mother and infant, essential nutrients, immunity properties, decrease in allergies and other intolerances, decrease in sudden infant death and long term affect of decrease in type 1 and 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity and high cholesterol. There are also positive effects for the mother. For example, low risk in chronic diseases and other physical benefits as well as financial. The benefits are overwhelming for both mother and infant. In regards to benefits to society, according to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services (2014), breast-feeding can reduce infant mortality, less medical cost, more productive work force and good for the environment. It is our responsibility to assist and educate new mothers on the benefits by promoting and encouraging short…

    My experience differed because I didn't think that the baby would be fussy and need a lot of time. This project affected my routine completely. I planned to get a lot of school work done during the weekend but it was nearly impossible due to the fact that the baby needed my attention most of the time. I also had to ask for days off at work, this also proves that when you're a mom you have to let things go in order to care for your children. After spending time with the baby it gave me a different perspective on teen pregnancy, I now know that you have to be ready to become a parent. Having a baby at a young age isn't…

    “We all stray from time to time….and when you do, OWN IT! If you deny it….you are giving up control again.” This can teach a lesson to people struggling with drugs and alcohol. If you deny that you have a problem, you will continue to let these things control your life, but if you own up to it, you can help yourself or get help from others. The quote, from the “I don’t know the Bible…” paragraph, “‘Well done, my good and faithful servant,”’ reflects what I believe in and what I have learned. Growing up I heard many people tell me, “God first, others second, and yourself last.” First of all, these two quotes are telling me to live a faithful life by putting God first. Also, to put others before me and serve them just like Jesus did.…

    Breastfeeding is beneficial for the infant, mother and the entire family. For mother, breastfeeding develops a feeling of closeness with the baby and as well as develops a sense of security in the child.You really feel the warmth and bonding when you breastfeed. Initially it takes time for the infant to latch on, but when once the proper latching is established, the entire process smooths out for the baby as well as for the mother. Ensure that when the baby is sucking, he/she takes your nipple, along with the areola, into his mouth. The sensations that you would feel will cause a reflex called let-down. This will signal your breast to release milk. You may feel a little tingling or surging sensation when your milk lets down. This is quite uncomfortable at first, but if he/she latches on properly, you should not feel pain. If you do, he's probably not latched on properly. After the baby's birth,your baby will receive colostrum, a fluid yellowish in color which contains antibodies and protective cells which provides nourishment and strengthens the immune system of the baby.Generally after 2-3 days the milk supply is established. The initial milk that comes out is called fore-milk, which quenches the thirst of the baby and then comes out the high fat milk…

    Baby Think It Over

    My Baby Think It Over experience in my eyes was a very overwhelming one. The responsibility of being a parent is definitely a great one. This project did help me realize a lot about parenting though. As a parent you’re suppose to have constant contact with your baby whether it’s feeding, burping, changing it’s diaper, putting it to sleep, rocking it, or playing with him or her. The most frustrating responsibility for me was waking up in the middle of the night to feed or change the baby’s diaper. I love my sleep and waking up in the middle of night, being awake for 20 minutes and trying to go back to sleep did cause me to feel exhausted. But there was also rewarding responsibilities of being a parent. Even though the baby wasn’t real and couldn’t hug or touch you. It was still a very rewarding feeling when the baby would coo at the end of feeding or make a happy noise after having it’s diaper changed. Just having the satisfaction of knowing you’re taking care of your baby in the right way is a good feeling. Doing the Baby Think It Over project has made me realize that nothing is worth getting pregnant at this age. Trying to manage school work, studying and focusing is something that would not be easy for any girl to do during high school. I give credit to the girls who are going through something like having a baby this young and who are getting through it. Having a baby is a burden and changes your life completely. Taking time away from spending time with your friends, going out, getting enough sleep, having free time for yourself. Everything like that is taken away from you.…

    If I woke up one day and I was in the early 1930’s living with 2 kids, a slave and a single father that was a lawyer, I think that it would not take me long to realize that the household would be hectic. During this era the great depression was happening which is not good for a single father. Even though he is a lawyer it would still be hard to make enough money during the great depression to feed 2 kids and a slave. Even though slaves don't usually get fed much or fed as much as the owners of the slave it is still another mouth to feed, so it makes it even harder to earn enough money.…

    Before this interview, I had never really thought about how there would be good emotions associated with giving birth, I had also just thought about how painful it must be physically and how awful that sounds to go through. However, after hearing my mom describe giving birth as “breathtaking, amazing, and inspiring”, my perspective on the entire experience of giving birth has changed. It was humbly to see that birth is really more than just the physical pain; it’s about bringing someone you already love so much into the…

    I had the Baby from February 27th to March 3rd. I had a boy and his name was Hudson. I had a good idea of what it was going to be like going into this project. I am the oldest of twelve grandkids on my mom side of the family and the so to be second oldest out of eight on my dad’s side of the family.
