Update on the vegan breastfed baby saga. While the judge finally decided that there was never any right to call the baby failure-to-thrive, the excuse they used to take him from his parents originally, the baby has been in various foster cares all this time (since August) since it was obvious that because he had not been vaccinated, was being breastfed over 12 months, didn't wear diapers, was given only organic vegan foods, was not allowed to wear polyester, was born at home, was abducted from foster care... that they weren't fit to be parents. The child was healthy and happy before being taken from parents, albeit a little anemic, but he's been ill off and on ever since and not gaining weight any faster -- even though he's been on dairy formula and all the "normal" foods the court (or whoever) thought would be so important for him. Now he's being tube fed (while strapped down) the dairy formula because he's been vomiting so much since they took him from the last foster care and put him into a state hospital for slow weight gain that the foster family denies -- and I wouldn't doubt if they assumed it was caused by the little bits of breastmilk the mom was still able to bring -- against the court's better judgement. (He was also "accidentally" vaccinated before sending him to the hospital). I only have a little more info -- can e-mail me off list. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
