CHILDBIRTH is the process by which a baby is expelled from the uterus, or womb, through the vagina to the outside world. Normally, a baby is born about 38 weeks (266 days) after it is conceived. In some cases, however, the baby may be born after only 26 weeks, and in others it may taJce as long as 41 weeks. Generally, if a baby is born before 35 weeks after conception, it is considered to be premature.
In summary, the baby is more likely to get the food he needs if the adult fulfills the following conditions:
Gives him affection as well as food, relaxes and enjoys the baby while she is feeding him.
Watches the baby rather than the clock. Although a three-hour, and later a four-hour, schedule of feedings is satisfactory for many babies, the schedule should be changed if it does not seem to fit a particular baby. If he wakes up at 4 A.M. it is best to feed him then, before he cries hard and long, and gradually to let him work out a Flexible schedule that seems best for him and not too hard on the rest of th " family. |
