I wondered about that - how many were both, since we're still using
paper diapers right now and they wick away the wetness so she doesn't
fuss much - whereas she goes nuts as soon as she poops.

Try wetting a clean diaper with water and watch how it completely absorbs
it. If you only put a couple of ounces in it, you might not even be able to
tell it's wet.

I'm getting better at telling now - she's had quite a few diapers
which were mixed.

I *am* worried she's not latching on well, as my
nipples hurt like hell, but she *is* getting milk because I can hear
her swallow. I tend to help the nursing by using my fingers close to
her mouth/on the breast to stimulate flow.

This doesn't sound like how I'd describe breast compression, so you may be
doing something wrong. You need to compress the breast from back near the
chest wall and forward. Check out the videos down the center column for
good positioning and latch:

I probably described it poorly. I massage the breast from the back
forward. I also use the "c" or "U' position described in LLL's book.

She seems to have improved her latch in the last day or so.
