Pros And Cons Of Breastfeeding

A. The failure cycle is “when a teen reacts in his life with low self-esteem and a poorly developed system of values, the discouragement and negative behavior that follow usually produce more negative events” (Popkin, M., 2009, p.117). It would be described as an event in a teen’s life where the event becomes problematic or a setback due to him/her having a low self-esteem and a poorly developed system of values. Which has the teen build some type of discouragement and triggers negative behaviors also producing negative events.
B. Parent’s encouragement can affect the “Think-Feel-Do cycle.” When the parent just simply uplifts their teen, it builds a sense of high self-esteem in that individual, allowing them to have a stronger belief, attitude

Of the 5 B’s, the two I agree with part of my style of parenting are breastfeeding, and belief that crying is an important signal. Two B’s I do not think will be are wearing baby in sling and co-sleeping. I agree with breastfeeding mostly because of the bonding a parent gains in the little bit of time the two have with each other. The health benefits that are associated with breastfeeding works in favor for both the mother and infant. Breastfeeding helps the mother recover from quickly from childbirth and breastfeeding helps the infant get the necessary nutrient that formulas could not offer. Crying is another I agree with because crying is a form of communication to alert the parents as to what may be the problem with the infant. Babies usually want to be soothe when they are crying. The two B’s I don’t agree with are a baby in a sling, I feel like the infant doesn’t get enough breathing room or doesn’t feel comfortable in it and babies can’t really express that to the parent. Co sleeping is another I don’t agree with and that is because it can be a bit risky for the baby at times. Especially with new parents who become extremely tired and can mistakenly roll on the baby or the baby can easily fall between the bed and the wall.

When the breastfeeding mother drinks occasionally or limits her consumption to one drink or less per day, the amount of alcohol her baby receives has not been proven to be harmful”
