Good points Deanise!
I was actually wanting to emphasise the importance of *stooling* (and weight
gain) as an idicator of adequaste intake, not wanting to bring up the
'foremilk/hindmilk' thing again as we just covered all that not so long ago.
No i wouldnt change the freqeuncy of feeding if a baby was thriving either,
however in Tricia's baby i would not say that the baby was thriving.
