Liane, I'll let Rachel respond to that one, but I don't think she was
out of line, personally.

How many times is that? Even on those figures it could be as few as 9
times in 24 hours. The 10 minute sessions you describe sounds like
'episodic' feeding which may not be enough - it may be all this baby
can manage, of course, at this time.
Whatever - the baby is clearly seriously underfed, and the 2 ounce
catch up in two days you report is only a little reassuring, IMO.
I wish everyone in this situation well, and it's good the midwife is
still involved - I would expect the midwife *is* concerned and
worried, and suspect maybe you have not been hearing the whole story
from the mother.
