The father of a baby who infamously vanished in the Australian Outback more than 30 years said Monday that he was confident a new inquiry into the tragedy will officially rule that a dingo took his daughter.
The disappearance of 9-week-old Azaria Chamberlain on Aug. 17, 1980, from a campsite near Ayers Rock, the red monolith in the Australian desert now known by its Aboriginal name Uluru, divided Australians between those who believed a native dog known as a dingo killed her and those who believed she was murdered by her mother, Lindy Chamberlain

Years ago there was a young couple and their infant daughter who were hiking Mt. Hood when they were surprised by a late snowstorm. The couple, ardent outdoor types who understood survival, made a snow cave and hunkered down to await rescue.
The young mother breast fed her baby, then later died before the three were rescued. Doctors said if the young mother hadn’t breastfed she wouldn’t have died.
So yes, there are people who take recently born babies out into the wilderness.

My current dog is a Lab-Chesapeake-??? mix. Between 7pm and 7am she is a sweetie. During the day?, not so much.

I recall that story. The problem wasn’t with breast-feeding, but that she kept eating snow to make milk. By eating snow - instead of melting it - she was lowering her body temperature.
I always remembered because not being much of an outdoors gal myself, I figured I’d probably just eat the snow, but now I know to melt it first.

Right off the top of my head I can cite 50,000,000 cases of mothers murdering their babies in the USA.

You are a good dog owner because you admit and understand your dog’s personality and temperament. Not all dogs are the easy going, laid back types that would allow toddlers to yank their ears or crawl over them. (I had to laugh that you describe her as a sweetie between 7 pm and 7 am.... she’s a doll when she’s asleep!) LOL!

When I was three weeks old my parents and grandparents took me and my brother on a cross-country trip that included camping.
Mmmmm. Did you ever come home and discover your parents had moved without telling you?

The mother died because she ate snow believing that she needed water to breastfeed. Warming up the snow inside her ate up a lot of BTUs that eventually killed her.

Based on that story and the other one, it’s not convincing me of the wisdom of taking newborns camping.
To: Krankor
There was that time they were put in witness protection while I was playing over at the neighbors. Took me most of the day to find them. :)

I could be wrong, but I believe that number is the number of abortions in this country to date...and counting...

I'm aware of that, but, I was challenging the poster because of the part included which said, "Right off the top of my head", which, would have been quite a trick for the memory.
