Ann, I am interested to see if you get any different answers. I would say it is impossible to tell if baby is nursing well enough if the baby is also being fed any of the new formulas like the Lipils. I find that even one bottle a day of formula may increase the stooling. I have worked with babies who are only getting 4-6 ounces of formula a day but then have 2-4 BMs. And test weights show they remove very little from mom, which is why they are not growing or gaining weight and not happy at the breast. So although their caloric intake is way too low, the newer formula is making them have what seems like "good" BMs. I tell moms this is another reason not to supplement in the early days.
