Not to minimize the stress and difficulties you had, I'm quite surprised
that a baby would be labled FTT when (only) 3 oz under BW at (only) two
weeks...  especially when the initial stress was taken into
consideration.  I would hope to be given support, encouragment,
sympathy, and another week to BF in peace.
