    Breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition for babies with human milk being high in fat, low in protein, and containing easily absorbed iron and antibodies that decrease infectious diseases. It promotes proper physical and brain development while also aiding weight loss and bonding for mothers. Babies are born with the ability to breastfeed due to reflexes like rooting and sucking, and they learn through classical and operant conditioning to associate breastfeeding with sweet milk. Issues like biting develop as babies grow but can be addressed by removing the breast until behaviors stop. Breastfeeding rates remain higher in some states and exclusive breastfeeding decreases over time.

    Learning Capacities
    Rooting reflex is present at birth and helps infant find

    the nipple Sucking is present at birth and permits infant feeding

    Learning Capacities Continued...


    Classical Conditioning Pairing a neutral stimulus with a stimulus that leads to a reflexive response

    Breast milk results in sucking Pair the presence of breast milk with a neutral stimulus such as forehead stroking Forehead stroking will cause sucking to occur

    Operant Conditioning Learning in which a spontaneous behavior is followed by a stimulus that influences the probability that the behavior will occur again

    Sweet milk reinforces the sucking response This results in an increase in sucking behavior

    Biting
    Biting while nursing might begin around 4 6 months
    Cant breastfeed and bite at the same time. Reasons for biting include: tiredness, boredom, curiosity

    Baby is still learning how to use teeth.

    Remove your baby from breast and firmly say, No

    biting. Lets him know that you do not like his behavior Known as Punishment in operant conditioning Teaching baby the cause and effect of his actions: If he bites while nursing, Mom will remove the breast. After you remove your breast, wait a few seconds and try again Connect your actions with the infants behavior.

    How to stop biting before it happens


    Remove your breast after rhythmic sucking has stopped.
    Then move him to the second breast before he has a

    chance to get bored or tired which are the red alerts for biting.
