Hi Tricia,
     I think I would like to get a pre and post feed weight and observe
the feeding for swallowing.  The question in my mind is: Is there milk
transfer happening and how much?
      The large yellow seedy stool is very positive.   I have not heard
of colace affecting a baby and seems unlikely.  Maybe the mom can switch
to bran, high fiber foods.
      If a mom pumps 1 or 2 oz. after a feeding I usually feel that is an
acceptable quantity.  This mom may want to finger feed some pumped milk a
couple of times a day.
     Some babies who are very sleepy at the breast 'tune out' because
milk transfer hasn't been working for them.
     Good luck, keep us posted.  I hope the mom doesn't get too
discouraged.  It is a problem to get conflicting advice.
