To not understand 'bottle propping'?

[stellenbosch]

Been in the media a lot lately. I don't get it. Why would you do this? It takes about five minutes to give your baby a bottle and it's such a nurturing bonding experience... not to mention the danger, wind, etc!

There's some disgusting comments on here. Totally lacking in basic empathy and showcasing how fabulous they are.

When I had 8 children under 4 I still managed to tandem breastfeed, hand rear a herd of orphaned cattle, cook from scratch (including digging the root veg) every meal, and complete my PhD in haemorrhoids! But ya know, it's not hard is it!!

I read case reports where my very first instinctive thought is "fucking scum" and then you dig deeper and pity these people. They have no opportunity, no role models, no "normal" as we see it. Their parenting is wrong but not through laziness.

To criticise her from behind a keyboard is disgusting.
Have some fucking compassion

I have no compassion for Chloe, his Mum.

She past her 4 month old baby around drug users and allowed him to live in urine soaked, unkempt squalor.
He had stayed at three different addresses in the week of his death and been alone with so many people that they can't find out who broke his legs.
The baby had already shown signs of being unresponsive earlier in the day and no help was sort for him leaving it impossible to ascertain cause of death.

Bottle propping didn't kill this boy, neglect and abuse did.

Yep, totally smug primark and proud.
No i’m not a perfect mother, I doubt anybody is. But if it comes to my unborn baby’s health (and my dc’s health) then I take it very seriously.

And I’m talking about nicotine, not fucking heroin!

I'm not talking about quitting smoking. I said if you can't be bothered to step outside your back door so your baby isn't breathing it in then I've no sympathy for you.
And I feel sorry for he baby not the parents. 2 non accidental fractured legs that went untreated. Even if the parents didn't harm the child they left them in immense pain.

Cause of death: inhalation of milk

Actual cause of death: poverty

Bollox was it poverty. There are plenty of people who rely on foodbanks/struggle to make ends meet who still care for their children adequately.
We don’t know why - trauma, ignorance for eg but this child’s family were not able to care for them and either needed massive intervention or for their child to be placed with someone who could look after them. For whatever reason that hasn’t happened with tragic consequences.

Actual cause of death: poverty

why is there always an excuse

no the parents were neglectful in every way,who treats another human being like that,somebody that can do nothing for themself your own flesh and blood

Actual cause of death: poverty

How did poverty cause this?

That is an insult to all the fantastic parents who care for, protect, nurture and love their children despite living under the breadline.

No actual cause of death was a mother who didnt give a damn who had her baby.Well she has got her wish.She doesnt have that beautiful baby anymore..

Who doesnt notice2 fractures.That poor baby must have been in so much pain.

My sister in law did this. Used to leave my nephew in his cot with a bottle. It hadnt occurred to her that it might be dangerous till she mentioned it to her health visitor who went through her like a dose of salts. She was mortified!

Poverty?! How incredibly insulting to the parents out there who are raising children in poverty and still managing to care for them adequately.

I hate seeing people do this. The babies always look so uncomfortable. Considering all you have to do for a young baby is feed it change it and talk to it a bit it’s pretty lazy parenting.

Did you read about the leg fractures as well? 😭

We're poor. We're surrounded by families who are poor. But for some reason, none of us have ever killed one of our children.
