LLL Bfeeding  Answer Book says "At least 3 to 4 bowel  movements the size of 
a US  quarter (2.5cm) or larger (Shrago 1998) is a good  indicator that the  
baby younger than 6 weeks is receiving enough  claories.  



~~
The BAB I have says this applies only after the "stool has turned yellow,  
usually by about the fifth day", and before that the baby is passing meconium,  
and moving through transitional stool, to the yellow, between day 3 and 5.
Hope that helps.
