Lisa,
I'd be worried. 4-5 oz per week is a bare minimum, I like to see
newborns be significantly over their birthweights at 2 weeks, and gain
6-8 oz per week thereafter for the first few months. The fact that this
baby is not happy and is never satisfied is good evidence that 4-5 oz
per week is not enough. Mom seems to be in denial.
