Todays wt was 9lbs 2ozs (2 wks) and the pediatrician told her that was too
> much to gain in one week and that she was to put the baby on a four

My opinion is that this is missing the entire point..  Too much weight gain.
Not enough weight gain. Why not focus on the LATCH, teach the mother how to
feed and know when her baby is actually drinking  and latching well, and
quit the proclamations.

Geesh.

Feeling peevish too.
