It’s bigger than just one mom trying to help another mom.
The teachers had noticed the infant was constipated.
One of the teachers offered to nurse the child. The mother said ‘No’ That’s not what I want”. When the mom left the room, the assistant teacher did it anyway. Wouldn’t you know it, of all times to nurse a baby. This baby is lactose intolerant, and doesn’t use milk products. This ‘favor’ made the child sick enough to see a doctor. So, this is an inadvertent form of insubordination and even arrogance, albeit well meaning.
I noticed there is no father mentioned. It’s possible this is a single mom, who may already be feeling somewhat inadequate with no dad, now she sees an unrelated woman taking charge of her baby. Doubling the resentment.
Sometimes, no means no.
Yep. Im all for healthy breast fed kids but the hiway to hell has been paved numerous times with the best of intentions.
Mom said, “No”.
