State three factors that suggest inadequate or sub optimal breast feeding in a new born?

1. Insufficient weight gain: If a newborn is not gaining weight at a healthy rate, it may be a sign that they are not receiving enough breast milk. This could be due to inadequate milk supply, poor latch, or other feeding issues.

2. Dehydration: Signs of dehydration in a newborn include dark yellow urine, dry mouth, sunken fontanelle (soft spot on the baby's head), and lethargy. If a baby is not getting enough breast milk, they may become dehydrated.

3. Jaundice: Jaundice is a condition where a baby's skin and eyes appear yellow due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood. Inadequate breastfeeding can contribute to jaundice, as the baby may not be getting enough fluids to help flush out the excess bilirubin.

1. Poor weight gain: A newborn should gain at least 1 ounce (28 grams) per day for the first few weeks of life. If the baby is not gaining weight as expected, it may be a sign that they are not getting enough breast milk.
2. Frequent urination and bowel movements: A breastfed baby should urinate at least six times a day and have two to four bowel movements per day. If the baby is not urinating or having bowel movements as often as expected, it may be a sign that they are not getting enough breast milk.
3. Lack of wet diapers: A breastfed baby should have several wet diapers each day. If the baby is not having enough wet diapers, it may be a sign that they are not getting enough breast milk.
