To answer Sonya's question:
No offense Judy, just a big chuckle. I hold up my hand to make the "OK"
sign with my thumb and forefinger.
It's the description from the LLLI info sheet which I mentioned. A little
bigger than the "United States quarter" (25 cent piece), but I think that it
is a good visual. And I am telling them that it is normal to have three
or more of these every day starting on day 4 (which is usually their second
day home after a vaginal birth.) I explain that once the baby at 72 hours
of age, he has completed three days of life, and he is now in his 4th day
of life. I also mention that they might start to see some texture in the
stools, kind of like sesame seeds, since so many first time moms have never
seen a breastmilk stool.
Hope this helps.
