Rationale:
1. Offering a pacifier stimulates the newborn. Time should be taken to calm the newborn prior to feeding.
2. If a newborn has been crying prior to feeding, the baby might have swallowed air; therefore, the newborn should be burped before feeding.
3. Time should be taken to calm the newborn prior to feeding. Unwrapping the newborn stimulates the newborn.
4. Time should be taken to calm the newborn prior to feeding. Stroking the spine and feet stimulates the newborn.
