I am thinking that since the baby presented with a serious illness at 2 wks 
of age, that he was actually sick prior to that. I am thinking maybe mother 
is comparing his behavior now (wellness) to his behavior then (sickness).  
And that his fast feeds now and sleepiness after are normal. I would 
recommend weighing the baby (not pre/post), just maybe a week after hospital 
discharge and maybe again in 2 wks if that one is ok, but mom is still 
worried. She can watch the wet, dirty diapers, and how her breasts soften 
with feeds. Mom surely was traumatized by baby's illness and the scary 
medical procedures, and needs reassurance and support. A League group would 
be great for her.
