i have heard this too, but i have also heard of feeding within the first few days.
not really sure if there is a reason to wait...but if there is, better to wait!
glad to hear mama is doing well.

This is a paragraph from the care section of my website:
.
5: The very first feeding of neonate boas should not be attempted until a week after the post-birth shed cycle is completed. Feeding baby boas too early can induce a cycle of regurgitation and poor weight gain that may never be overcome. It is also observed that newborn boas can be fearful of meals offered and it may subsequently take considerable effort to convince these babies to feed.
.
