I think the DHA/ADA makes them have runny BMs so that it is really hard to 
tell if they are breastfeeding well (when supplemented also with formula). 
What I commonly see is formula fed babies having a runny BM every feeding on 
Enfamil Lipil. Rather than the old stuff giving them hard, formed BMs, or 
constipation. When we ask mom how many BMs to assess breastfeeding, we must 
ask how much formula. Even one bottle of Enfamil Lipil a day seems to throw 
off the diaper counts. Baby might be getting just 2 ounces a day of Enfamil 
Lipil and breastfeeding really poorly but still have 2-3 BMs so the 
breastfeeding situation seems better than it really is. I work for WIC and 
we use Enfamil so I use this as the example. Best, Kathy Eng
