Infrequent nursing can pose several risks to both the mother and the infant:
Dehydration and Malnutrition: The infant may not receive adequate hydration or nutrients, impacting growth and development. Decreased Milk Supply: Reduced stimulation can lead to a decrease in milk production, making it difficult to meet the infant's needs. Breast Engorgement: Infrequent emptying of the breasts can cause engorgement, leading to discomfort and potential infections like mastitis.
