Hi Tricia, I think I would like to get a pre and post feed weight and observe the feeding for swallowing. The question in my mind is: Is there milk transfer happening and how much? The large yellow seedy stool is very positive. I have not heard of colace affecting a baby and seems unlikely. Maybe the mom can switch to bran, high fiber foods. If a mom pumps 1 or 2 oz. after a feeding I usually feel that is an acceptable quantity. This mom may want to finger feed some pumped milk a couple of times a day. Some babies who are very sleepy at the breast 'tune out' because milk transfer hasn't been working for them. Good luck, keep us posted. I hope the mom doesn't get too discouraged. It is a problem to get conflicting advice.
