That shouldn't be a problem. I have to wait for her to finish shedding! Ive also heard of people feeding sooner than 2 weeks, may i ask why they do that and why the 2 week rule?

Regurges beat up their insides, and also takes a lot of energy. So it's best to wait at least two weeks so that they can heal and redevelop the stomach enzymes that are required for digestion.
Feeding too early is kinda like ditching your crutches after knee surgery when the Dr specifically said use them for two weeks.
It basically just allows time for healing while not stressing an already stressed body.
