Question

I know this girl she lives w/ her bf and his grandmother. The girl and the bf have a baby together and she will be 1 on the 21 of this month. Ever since that baby was 4 months she has been eating cookies and all kinds of junk food. at about 8 months still eating junk food and they took her off her formula and started giving her regular milk. Except the thing is even w/ the regular milk which is bad for a baby they never give her white milk, its always chocolate. The put her to sleep with chocolate milk and everything. This baby is turning 1 and my daughter is 2 years and 2 months and they weigh the same. I've tried telling them the baby is going to be overweight but they don't seem to care. They said the baby wants it. If they never gave it to her in the first place then she woldn't even know what it is. I'm worried about the baby. She is pretty large.

Why do people have to give such smart @ss answers. I just wanted to know your opinion on this. I'm truly worried about the baby. First whole milk before age 1 is bad for the liver. Second this baby is weighing the same as my 2 year old. I have never seen her eat fruit or veggies a day in my life. In no way have I told them how to raise. Though the father and mother need to become more responsible. Both of them dropped out of highschool. They both smoke pot and they don't work and live off of the boys grandmother. She got pregnant w/ her at 16. She told me one time that her bf was mad at her cuz she threw the baby (who was 3 months at the time) on the couch cause she got mad at her mom. The let her play with things that are to small that my 2 year old wouldn't be allowed to play with. And she plays with the bowl he smokes the pot out of.

This is not a lie. Of course a 4 month old can't eat the cookie (most of them have no teeth). I have a child of my own. but what stops them from sucking on it. I'm sorry if you think this is a lie and that the only reason you responded is for the 2 points. But its not so go find some other lie you can respond to, to get the 2 points. Stop being such a low life.

I can't say for sure cause I never bothered to ask. But I don't know if the baby goes to the doctor for its checkup like shes suppose to. So whether the doc know or not I don't know

Answer 1

I'm not sure that there is much you can do about it. You could try filing a report with CPS. But unless she is VERY obese, I don't think they will do anything.

Answer 2

Scarlett Rose needs to get her facts straight. The reason you don't give babies under a year any dairy products or egg whites is because their bodies cannot digest the proteins properly. Check the American Academy of Pediatricians. I know people have given their babies whole milk before a year and say their kids are fine. That may be true now, but they can also develop allergies and diabetes later in the life. BTW SR - if you go around bragging that you are such a manipulator and great liar, then their is obviously something wrong with you - so do us all a favor and keep your opinions to yourself.

As for the problem at hand. I would definitely call protective services. Tell them you are concerned and would like the parents to get educated on proper nutrition for their infant. Those parents are setting that child up for a lifetime of problems. It's their responsibility for caring for that child. If they are so ignorant that they don't know what they're doing is wrong, then they need to be informed. I wouldn't worry about anything coming back to haunt you. We need to start looking out for children and stop turning our backs because it's "none of our business". This is a serious problem. Good luck!

Answer 3

Get a life. This is OBVIOUSLY a fake story.
Who do you think you're fooling? You can't fool me, because I'm the master of manipulation and lying, and can detect liars from a mile away.
Also, a four month old is tiny, and can NOT eat cookies. Just from that, i know you're lying. The baby would've choked, and died. At 4 months old, the baby should only be drinking formula, and eating purees. Alot of people don't even give their babies purees until 6+ months.
Liar, Liar, Liar, Liar, Lair.
There is no way in hell that she could have been eating cookies and other junk food at 4 months. She would have choked, and died. And in case she wouldn't have choked and died, she would have been crying like crazy, and throwing up everywhere. A 4 month old can NOT handle such greasy, heavy, and difficult to digest food.
She would die from choking and/or stomach rupture.


Even though I'm 100% sure this story is fake, If it WERE true, You should MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. There are so many fat and unhealthy kids in this world, and nobody does anything about it. If the parents want their kid to be fat, that's their problem, so stay the f*ck out of it and worry about your own child.

Also, whole milk will NOT affect the baby. I've been feeding my son whole milk since he was 4 months old, and he couldn't be healthier.
Formula is made out of WHOLE MILK, smart@ss.
The reason why pediatricians say not to feed your baby whole milk before 10 months is because they fear if people start feeding their babies whole milk, they'll stop feeding them formula and/or breastmilk and the baby needs formula for their developement. But it's fine if you give them whole milk, AND formula or breast milk.

Get your facts straight!

Also, learn how to lie because this story is pathetic. So unbelievable.

Answer 4

It sounds bad, not only will the baby be overweight, it will be malnourished and probably have rotten or decayed teeth.

Call DCFS (Department of Child and Family Services) or Social Services and ask them to do a well-baby or well-child check. Thats about all you can do other than talking to the parents. If DCFS finds a problem, they will have the family take parenting and nutrition classes and work with a social service agent. If that still doesn't work, they CAN take the baby away, but thats usually an extreme and a last resort.

Hope it works out ok.

Answer 5

This is a serious problem. They need to have someone talk to them. Child protection is a good idea .. hopefully they could get a nutritionist in to see them and talk some sense into them. They are creating a lifestyle in this baby that will effect him/her for the rest of their lives. The premise that we always want what is best for us doesn't even work for adults let alone a 1 year old child.

Answer 6

I agree with some of the answers where they say to call cps. And about the smart *** remarks, you shouldnt stay out of it because they are ruining their childs life. That baby is going to have all kinds of health problems if something isnt done. I am surprised the babys pediatrician hasnt said anything yet. But I bet the parents didnt mention all that to the doctor. Maybe you could also look online for things telling the possible outcomes of their ways. Like look for something that tells the health risks and then print it out and give it to them. And I bet the babys teeth are nasty too huh?

Answer 7

I think yo're absolutely right that the majority of their dietary choices for this infant are poor ones, and I likewise wish they were more receptive to constructive advice. It's equally true however, that they are her parents and you are not. ( That doesn't make you wrong, but it makes you easier to ignore). If a Social Services counsellor were to vsit them and offer some dietary input they may be more open to following that advice because of the "official" scrutiny implied with that action. They will do so tactfully, as they are professionals at what they do, but that's an option worth considering before irreversible damage to the child sets in. Good luck, and I applaud your interest.

Answer 8

if you can't get anywhere talking to these people call child services and let them make the decision. Then you have done everything you can, and are a good person.

Answer 9

they are lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy and yes lazy "parents" and I put parents like that because they are no way a parent to that child.

Let me guess are they fat too? Contact social services they will have lists of parenting groups that can help these ppl. They need to be educated and I can pretty much guess they are young parents too, so they will defiantly need the help even if they don't think so.

Answer 10

I think you need to call Child Protective Services.

We can't be ignorant, and mind our own business, someone needs to look out for the interest of the child, since the parents clearly aren't
