Your newborn has less than 3-4 stools after day 4.

You do not see a change in stooling to ‘transitional’ stools by day 3 or 4, or you do not see mature breastfeeding stools (yellowish, mustardy stools).

You have breast or nipple pain, hard breasts that do not soften, or you feel uncomfortable.

You wonder if your baby is being satisfied.
