If this baby is only 5 days old and is down just 5 oz (a small %age
for a 10+ pound baby) I wouldn't be worried especially if the output
is good.  This is one situation where pre/post feed weighings might
help to reassure the mom.  From the description, it sounds like
there is good milk transfer and that the main problem at this moment
is mom's doubts.  It would, of course, be wise to do weight checks
every day or so until it is certain mom's supply is well established
and supported.
