Wow, if I was a single mother in a hostel in spain, my baby would have been removed. How about yours?

This story makes me so angry:

Good job I'm not an ethnic minority, young, single mother relying on the Spanish government, eh?

The poor baby, not only has she been separated from her mum, but even if she is given back something she loves, takes comfort from and needs has been taken away from her FOREVER. Disgusting.

did you read the end of the article:

Habiba was suffering psychological problems, was aggressive, hurled objects at other young mothers, would go weeks without bathing her child, left the baby on its own in potentially dangerous situations and took her out without proper clothes on. She also had a violent relationship with the child's father, who had been sent to jail for attacking her but whom she still wanted to live with.

I think a child would be taken in care in the UK for all of the above - the BF angle was wrong of course

No, I got myself too riled up to finish it...

Agree that those are valid reasons for intervention, although probably at a mother and baby unit (not an expert of course).

Still, the discussion around her Breastfeeding is ridiculous.

Why tf does my iPad always capitalise Breastfeeding?

Seems to be more to this than breast feeding and sleeping habits.
