But at the same time, it can be very encouraging and help mom get over 
the hump of *starting* elimination, if she knows that she may see some 
improvement within two or three days.  IME, babies may still be having 
diarrhea at that point (and generally are, unless mom caught the issue 
very early), but they are clearly happier and more comfortable within a 
matter of days.  When mom's nerves are fried because she is deeply 
bonded to an utterly miserable baby, that little bit of improvement can 
be a glorious light at the end of the tunnel.
