I, too, am reserving judgment on this one. It sounds like there is a
possibility that the mother might have been trying to "clean up her act"
in caring for her child rather than cleaning up the evidence...
I don't think it is necessarily a plot of DEA etc. I think it's just
that sometimes our assumptions that women can't breastfeed in some
situations can overtake our reasoning. The vulnerable -- the poor, the
homeless, the members of other ethnic groups -- are viewed as unable or
unworthy or unfit.
