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.
