" Doctor says = Mother's not drinking enough, the  baby may be using  all of 
the milk and =
producing no waste, possibly the  formula slowed  things down." 
What the heck does this mean? Waste, or stool, is based on the amount of  
fat/calories/digested matter in baby's gut. He's half right but it's not the  
part about her not drinking enough.
I'm always surprised by the number of people who advise a mom to drink X  
amount of water per day to make enough milk. Sigh, it's what the baby takes in  
that matters.
