Harry Harlow was aware of the controversy post World War II on the role of biological instincts in the development of conduct and emotions and, in response, he presented his "Babyhood and Motherhood project". In this work Harlow bred and raised infant rhesus monkeys in isolation to be their human influence and keep them from spreading infections. Harlow wanted to understand their natural behavior without another’s influence, so he gave the monkeys two inanimate mothers., one made of wood and rubber

development, co-sleeping serves as a contributing factor that encourages breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is the most natural and effective method of feeding infants due to its long-lasting beneficial impact on their overall development. Breastfeeding not only grants numerous health advantages for infants and their mothers, but also promotes positive mother-infant attachment and physical contact. Interestingly, nutrients found in breastmilk are peerlessly unique that they cannot be produced by any other types
with a busted lip. I have even awakened to find bruises on different parts of my body. Although it may sound as if I sleep on a construction site, I actually sleep in my queen size bed along with my three and six year old sons. I began co-sleeping with each of them at birth. It made life much easier during the infant phase of their lives. But that phase has been long gone. I believe that I was able to bond even more with my children through co sleeping. But now I find myself too often tired and
MY VIRTUAL LIFE ASSIGNMENT Emily Jensen Community College of Aurora My Virtual Life Assignment For this assignment, I have organized my responses into a report based on the following periods of development: infancy and toddlerhood (birth to 30 months), early childhood (3 to 5 years), middle childhood (6-11 years), and adolescence (12-18 years).

Concepts Statement, I planned to go over the Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) which is the leading cause of death among infants between 1 week and 1 year of age. I have never heard of this health issue until now. As I did a bit of some research in the textbook and other cites, in the textbook, it mentions what can occur to an infant between one week and one year of age to die. According to the textbook of Understanding Your Health, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), occurs when some mothers who
Low Birth Weight Babies in a Postnatal Ward” was written by Sarah Gregson and Jonathan Blacker and was published in the British Journal of Midwifery. This study was the first in the UK to investigate Kangaroo care for stable low birth weight infants and infants at risk for hypoglycemia in a transitional care/ postnatal ward setting. The purpose of this cohort study was to compare the effects of Kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact with mother) on length of stay, feeding, and parent satisfaction for
mothers in order to restore the meaning of childhood. Not only did it help mothers better understand how to handle their situations, but also decreased the infant mortality rate. The progressive reformers analyzed that parents provided poor diets for their children causing malnutrition and diarrhea. This was a huge cause to the death of infants and toddlers. The Bureau hoped to educate families to weaken the child mortality rate and hopefully create a better understanding of how a child should be
the infant mortality rate (IMR) is a reliable indicator of a country's civilization and focus on the welfare of its citizens (Berger 2001). Although global infant mortality rates has shown steady improvement over the past century, many developing countries continue to experience inordinately high rates compared to the world levels; surprisingly, though, even the United States which claims to have one of the best healthcare systems in the world continues to experience relatively high infant mortality
