   focused on the prenatal and intrapartum period as critical for the success of exclusive
   (or any) BF (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2007; Petrova et al., 2007;
   Shealy et al., 2005; Taveras et al., 2004). Exclusive breast milk feeding rate during

   Gestational Age as calculated using the best obstetrical Estimated Due Date (EDD) based
   on the formula: Gestational Age= (280-(EDD-Reference Date))/7 where Reference Date is
   the date on which you are trying to determine gestational age. For PC-05, Reference Date
   is the Birth Date. Note however that the calculation may yield a non-whole number and
   gestational age should be rounded off to the nearest completed week. For example, an infant
   born on the 5th day of the 36th week (35 weeks and 5/7 days) is at a gestational age of
   35 weeks, not 36 weeks."/>
