Hi Ladies,
The one question I did not have the *right* answer for was the bowel  
movement question....
3-4 sounds like too narrow of a range to me...

I usually say 2-5 with the caveat that some babies move their bowels  
every time they nurse...
Although in practice even this hasn't always proven to be very  
helpful...

I've seen plenty of slow or no gainers whose mothers report 2-5 bowel  
movements...I have adopted the *scoop of poop* inquiry...
I don't know who I should credit with this...may be you Ladies know...

So I ask the moms how many times a day is there enough poop in the  
diaper that you could retrieve some by scooping it out...

I took the quiz several days ago so maybe I have forgotten but I  
don't recall any questions on frequency and duration...

To me the frequency information and duration information comes right  
after how to latch info, and right before urination and bowel  
movement info...
So to me those are the top 3 things and I don't recall my top 2  
making it into the quiz...
