[snip] CARRBORO, North Carolina (WTVD) -- A mother is hoping police press charges against a daycare worker she says was caught on surveillance video breastfeeding her child without her permission.

Oxendine said moments after she left the room, video shows the daycare worker picking up her baby and breastfeeding him for several seconds. The woman stopped when another worker who was in the room at the time, stood up to leave.

Later Friday evening, Oxendine rushed her baby to UNC Hospital because she said he became ill and was throwing up.

Her son was born prematurely, is lactose intolerant and can't have any milk products.

from what I understand nursing a child is a pleasurable experience for most mothers because endofins are released

Why have a baby if you’re going to let strangers raise him?

[Glad2bnuts]

No I wouldn’t, but then again, lawyers would not be involved.

[Boogieman]

Similac allows them to keep doing drugs while the kid is nursing.

[SoothingDave]

Even if he is lactose intolerant, breast milk is fine

Don't you go injecting facts into the situation. ;-)

[Iron Munro]

LOL! That remark wins you the internet for the day ...

I also have serious concerns about distributing non-pateurized milk to a human in open violation of state law.

Although pasteurizing that milk in the original container could be problematic.

How To Pasteurize Milk:

Heat the milk to a temperature of 145 F and maintain that temperature for exactly 30 minutes.

Taxpayers also pay for child care in a number of programs nationwide, so it isn’t exactly a binary choice.

In any case, there are other alternatives to the obviously sub-standard care that was rendered in this case by a facility that cavalierly disregarded the instructions of the mother.

In any case I am somewhat surprised at the hostility directed at me for having the temerity to suggest that the mother of a premature infant with medical issues might be inclined to extend her “Maternity leave” or even become a “stay-at-home Mom” at least until the baby has gotten over those incredibly difficult first few weeks or months of life. Is ANY career worth risking the life or well-being of your baby? Seriously?

It doesn’t always mean that the Taxpayers will be paying for it.

I have taught pre-school, and some of the kids just get dumped there, at a very early age, because the moms have “better things to do”. Not all...but some. And there were a few that were there for free, even when the mothers weren’t working.

I have also taken care of nieces and nephews because my sisters in both cases HAD to work. Now I have two sisters who take care of THEIR grandsons because their kids have to work.

So I am not unaware of the situations, and certainly not insensitive to the needs of a single mom.

There are just more than two options.

I was fortunate enough to work at home as a medical transcriptionist for over 20 years. No vacations or sick days, but I got to raise my babies myself. It can be done, although not in that particular field, sad to say.

You were indeed blessed to have been able to do it that way!

Why leave your precious child in the care of strangers?

That is a huge, deep question for this and the past generation.

Married + single income + stay-at-home-mom families are gone: Couples want more and better stuff. There is no father at home. Mom needs to be a 'professional'. Fathers can't make living wages.

We now have second generation day care-raised adults as parents. It is social experiment producing bitter fruits. God help us.

The church could take a leadership roll in this mess. Make it high status in churches for mothers to stay home and raise thier children.

HIV can infect babies via breastfeeding.

Make it high status in churches for mothers to stay home and raise their children.

Except that a great many churches are providing day care services themselves. Just like they're helping settle muzzie refugees, for $$$. Whore churches prevail.

The oft repeated notion that parents who utilize day care and early ed services are leaving children "in the care of strangers" is simply false.

My wife of 32 years and I had 2 sons and 2 daughters. At the time my wife and I married she was already a skilled scientist and eventually held the position a Director of Research and Development at a well-known food company. I was similarly progressing in my career on the pharmaceutical development side.

Each of our kids went to day care, and none of the persons who cared for them were "strangers." They were professionals whom we selected to care for our kids while we both worked outside the home in our respective professions. Each of the kids subsequently went to pre-school.

Oh sure, as parents we were often judged by plenty of self-righteous family members and church goers, who saw us as parents doing our kids a horrible dis-service but my wife and I - no less Christians than any of them - chose to ignore them all.

The 4 kids are all grown now and out of the house, and none of them hate us for having them in day care when they were tykes.

Our two sons both became Eagle Scouts and served in the US Marine Corps. Both finished college at UCONN; the oldest graduating with his degree in pathobiology, employed in Environmental Health and Safety at the school where I where I did my graduate work in Biochemistry, and the other received his degree from the UCONN School of Business and is an executive recruiter.

The two girls also both graduated from UCONN; one with a degree in History, who did her graduate work at Sotheby's in London and works in art collections management in NYC, and the youngest completed her degree in Animal Science at UCONN and is currently in research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. My daughters share an apartment on the upper East Side.

For those who sat in judgment of my wife and I in our early years it is my hope, if any of them have charity let in their hearts that they might all be blessed even as my wife and family has been.

For those on this board who continue to stand in judgment, I invite you to go ahead and do so.

FReegards!

I have my reasons for judging, I and family members (one a daycare provider) have seen the other side of this coin. Your story is great and congratulations to you and your offspring. Seems you were an active, participating father in the home; old school. (Btw, if you dislike being judged, why do you so judge others - self righteous, standing in judgement, without charity...?)

My oldest daughter didn’t go to day care until she was 2 1/2. She is very smart and is an RN and may pursue nurse practitioner. My twins started day care at 3 months. My daughter has an MBA. My son, different story.

If you choose or can afford to keep them home, great. Most can’t. That’s the realuty.

[donna]

I’ll just say it.

They accomplished all that under the direct supervision of others. Their values and characteristics are those of their caretakers.

It’s nice that it turned out well in your viewpoint.

Very true.

And that is what made all the difference.

Couldn’t agree more. Plenty of other mammals
Are
Smart
Enough to stay with their babies enough years til they are developed enough. Same with traditional humans. Human babies need at least 5 years with someone who loves them more than life.
