yes, .......ok, let's start with: how does this situation make you feel?,
...oh yes, stumped, ....what do you think your options might be? .....excellent

<<or could let me know what I am missing>>
maybe nothing, and all ok, or could be you are noticing early sign of
problem.
If you are concerned then there is probably a good reason for your concern
even if that reason is that the mom needs reassurance, means you are being
sensitive to mom and her needs/concerns.
at two weeks would be better for baby to be closer to birth wt, esp with
moms hx, ..but not actually quite two weeks yet, couple of days to go, ....how
about a few pre and post feed wts to check intake?
if intake at breast not good enough add supplement at breast and then also
other strategies to increase supply.
mom says breast full before feeds and soft after?
baby looks good in general, in addition to "belly felt fine"? I would guess
so or doc would have noticed ie; color or fatigue issues.
<<Wet diapers fine.>> make sure, have mom assess well
glad doc not in a panic, but, would F/U frequently till everyone is
reassured.
