Rationale 1: These are not symptoms of nipple soreness.
Rationale 2: These are not symptoms of engorgement.

Rationale 1: Habituation is the newborn's ability to process and respond to visual and auditory stimulation.

Rationale 3: Self-quieting is the newborn's ability to quiet and comfort himself by sucking on the fist.
