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

Rationale 1: A normal length of labor is not a factor related to early feeding patterns.
Rationale 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.
Rationale 3: Normal vital signs during labor are not factors related to early feeding patterns.
Rationale 4: Normal vital signs during labor are not factors related to early feeding patterns.
