ainsufficient lactation defined as milk yields at least 30% lower than those reported as normal

blow milk production defined as not meeting the infant's daily oral feeding requirements

clactation failure defined as not of the following: a decreasing milk supply by >30% from peak volume based on maternal count or inability to meet the daily nutritional intake of the infant.
