You are expecting your first child and are interested in breastfeeding your baby. You would also like to return to work relatively soon. You have to decide how valuable breastfeeding is and whether you can work and breastfeed.

Prepare a 7 – 10 page (not including title and reference pages) scholarly research paper on the underlying issue of the scenario you chose in the Lot in Life Applied Final Project and a description of how parents can deal with it (based upon theory and up-to-date research findings). This paper should draw information from at least 8 primary sources of information (peer-reviewed journal articles published since 2007 and books authored by theorists in addition to information from government and community agencies. Your sources of information should be cited and referenced in APA (American Psychological Association), 6th edition, style.

Note: Your references for Part 3 do not have to be the same sources of information included in Part 2. You may have located more appropriate and/or more recent sources of information since completion of Part 2.

This is to be a scholarly paper, written in third person voice (do not write “I,” “we,” “you,” “us,” “our,” etc.

You will contact at least two local community agencies (not just their websites) that provide services information, training, and support for the problem. Include their mission statement, specifics on how to contact the agencies, what services are provided, and how much these services cost.

If in addition to the required peer-reviewed sources of information, you include World Wide Web sources for information on this topic, review the guidelines for evaluating Internet sources.
