In Madrid, Spain, a young Moroccan mother has had her baby taken into care because she was still breastfeeding her at 15 months. She was living in sheltered accommodation for young mothers, where apparently it is routinely encouraged to wean ?older? babies, even forcing medication onto mothers to stop producing milk. This woman, known as Habiba, was described as incompetent as a mother because she was feeding her baby ?chaotically?. She was basically feeding on demand.
There?s been a massive response from people, there?s a Facebook group and an online petition some of you may want to sign, and they're also available in English.

Can't imagine what she must be going through. She's only seen her daughter for an hour after 10 days, and it's not clear what will happen and how soon.
