    Ati Maternal Newborn Proctored Exam

    A breastfeeding mother expresses concern about whether her one-week-old newborn is getting enough milk. Which finding is a concrete indicator that the baby is getting enough milk?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Hunger cues may decrease, but this is not a reliable sign of adequate milk intake. B. Suckling and swallowing indicate milk transfer, but this alone does not confirm adequate intake. C. Correct. A well-hydrated newborn should produce 6–8 wet diapers and several stools per day, indicating sufficient milk intake. D. While newborns often fall asleep after feeding, this does not necessarily mean they have had an adequate intake.
