This sounds like the case against McDonalds when the old lady was scalded with hot coffee. If this mom was breastfeeding, this wouldn't have happened. I hope this case gets a lot of publicity and the parents lose. In reality, the hospital will probably settle out of court and nobody will ever hear about it. Pity kids don't get to sue their parents for not providing them with the protection of breastfeeding. It would be nice to have a warning on each can of formula about the risks of formula rather than the insipid line of breastfeeding being best. I wonder if we will ever see the day when that happens.
