Dear Lactnet Friends:

I am speaking of the intense desire for couples to have boys; this attitude
leads to abortions and abandonment of girls in other countries.

"Jodhpur, Apr 3 (PTI) A newborn girl abandoned by her parents, who are
fighting
with another couple to claim a boy, was finally breastfed for the first time
since her birth in Ummed government hospital here. The girl, who was
mistakenly
exchanged with the boy by the hospital staff on March 25, has not been
accepted
by any of the two couples and is currently under the supervision of the
nursery
unit of the hospital. Due to the dispute, the girl was deprived of
breastfeeding
and the hospital administration also did not allow one of the mothers to
breastfeed the infant in the absence of an undertaking that the girl
belongs to
them."

What future does this poor baby have when she is so unwanted??

warmly,
