1. Length of labor was 8 hours.
2. Epidural during labor
3. Blood pressure of 114/82

1. A normal length of labor is not a factor related to early feeding patterns.
2. Some newborns whose mothers received epidurals in labor might experience a delay in normal feeding patterns. These newborns have been noted to be irritable and to have decreased visual skills and alertness.
3. Normal vital signs during labor are not factors related to early feeding patterns.
