Here in the U.S., my experience has been that most moms are obsessed with
their babies' weights and are eager to have them weighed.  I do breastfeeding
drop-in hours, one session concurrent with a mothers' support group.
Sometimes mothers in the support group hear I have a pump and come up
specifically to have their babies weighed, even when there is no concern.

In consults, I always weigh babies before feeds as part of my assessment.
Then, if it comes up during the feeding that there is some question, I can do
an after-feed weight. I've found that the times I don't, I wish I had.
