ghostbusters! okay, sorry, i couldn't resist. :)
your baby didn't really say "mama", it was probably just an utterance that you interpreted to sound like "mama". the phonemes in the word "mama" (the "m" and the "a") are relatively easy for babies to produce because they're voiced and they produce a vibratory sensation in their oral cavities.. they only use their lips and throat, so they don't have to have any mastery of any other articulators... that's why babies always say "mama" before "dada"... the "d" phoneme requires a use of their tongue that they haven't gotten to yet.
two weeks is a little soon for a baby to be saying "mama".. she probably just uttered the easiest sounds for her to make. i mean, come on.. she was eating and you disrupted her food source!
give it time though.. i'd be willing to bet a dollar that when it comes time, she'll say "mama" before "dada".. just wait and see.

Well, children at this age are unable to talk or understand language.
What you heard was a freak of nature or a mini miracle- go head enjoy being a mother.
take care.
