Hi Jane,

I don't know about these newborn weight requirements causing an obsession 
w/wt. gain later in life, but I know for certain that the concern about 
weight gain  in cases where the baby is healthy and doing fine causes undue 
stress for the parents and erodes mom's confidence in her ability to feed 
her own child.
