I am taking a breastfeeding course and am presently working on the nutrition section of the course. This sounds like such an easy question but it's not, even if you have nutrition education. I guess I find it challenging because I haven't done any clinical work yet. Can anyone help me? What are the signs that a lactating mother is at a risk of poor nutrition? My ideas were: rapid weight loss, fatigue, depression, irritability Would it show in the baby? Would only long term poor nutrition affect milk supply and then affect baby? Thanks in advance for any input.
