In the research study of evolutionary economists Ingela Alger and Donald Cox, they state,“lactation have been found to be strongly implicated in mother-child bonding in a way that can conceivably affect the path of maternal care.” (Alger, Cox) The mother-child bonding and…

not made clear. If the research was being performed was during a time of heavy drought, for example, that would significantly affect the weaning process. Mothers are not going to be as willing to continue lactation if resources are less abundant. This is due to the heavy energetic cost of lactation. Overall, I found that aspects of the collected data limited the conclusions of the…

During my maternity clinical experience I was able to be a part of the discussion encouraging mothers to breast feed their infants almost weekly. Before attending nursing school I had a limited understanding concerning breast feeding, but I had heard and learned that the benefits of breast feeding far outweigh any other source of infant nutrition. During this course and several other courses in the nursing program, the professors and guest lectures have all emphasized the vast physiological and…

The dairy center will be managed by members of the women group who have shares in the dairy farm. The farming will be based on stall-feeding model and will have on average 305 days of lactation period.

The instructor presented the information with numerous teaching aids to ensure that the mothers learned and…

DHA were found to have impaired neurological development. They displayed less recognition memory and sustained attention than the infants fed a DHA-fortified soy formula, and were also found to have a higher heart rate (Pivik et al., 2009). During lactation, low levels of DHA in breastmilk can be due to the higher ratio of linoleic acid to ALA. Linoleic acid is converted to omega-6 fatty acids in the body, and is found in leafy vegetables, grains, and vegetable oils, such as corn and sesame oil.…
