Answer to Question 1

Research has found no long-term benefits to immediate bonding for humans.
However, the concept of bonding has led many women to feel quite guilty or
saddened when not given immediate opportunities to spend time with the newborn.
That said, it has proven to be beneficial for first-time mothers who are young, poor,
or otherwise stressed because providing opportunities for immediate bonding
reduces risk of postpartum depression.

Answer to Question 2

The Apgar scale is used at 1 and 5 minutes after birth to measure the newborn's
body functioning. It measures skin color, heartbeat, reflex irritability, muscle tone,
and respiratory effort. Each of these is measured with a score of 0, 1, or 2. Higher
scores are better. A 5-minute score of 7 or greater means that there is no danger. If
the total score is below 4, the baby is in critical condition.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
