What should i do to save my 1 month old neice????

Question

my sister has weight issues and she's have always tried to lose wight but couldn't then she had a baby and spent the first month with us and we were taking care of the baby now she's gonna leave and take the baby and she said she wont feed her baby except 3 times a day and she's already trying to do that except we fought with her she said she'll do what she wants we she takes her home wat should i do i'm so worried she'll starve her help

Answer 1

Well I'd call her doctor and have the doctor talk to her and if that didn't work then I'd call child protection services. However, once that kid is screaming because she's hungry I bet her mom will put a bottle in her mouth to get the quiet.

Answer 2

call child protection, or the police and have her taken away then you can adopt her. well you can do that here..idk about where you live...

Answer 3

Wow if she means that ....she should not have the baby. New babies eat like every 2-3 hours. The baby would starve being fed 3 times a day. Get child protection to look into the babies care. Document anything you feel is not being done or done improperly to care for the baby. That will help your case for wanting custody.

Good Luck

The mother needs to deal and come to terms with her eating/ diet issues also.

Answer 4

Call Child Protection....that baby needs food...what does your mom say?  She should do something to intercede and call and report her now and see if she can get some kind of parenting classes for her.  She needs help.

Answer 5

Call Child Protection. If she is that weight obsessed she may end up killing the baby.

Answer 6

uhh .. call 911 ??

yeah sure :)

Answer 7

report her..this is neglecting her child!!

that needs to be sorted out pronto....she really doesnt sound in the right frame of mind to be caring for a baby at all!!!

i know its your sister but it is for the safety of the baby

Answer 8

Call child protection and get that baby taken away until she gets some help! They may award you temporary custody until she gets the help she needs. She should take some parenting courses. If you dont call then you are endangering the babies life! Good luck

Answer 9

Call the police or go to the police station STAT!

This woman needs professional help.  You can hire a lawyer and go through DCFS or whatever but make sure that one of you can keep the baby with you, because otherwise she will be lost in the system forever.  

Your sister needs to get help, seriously.  There are groups and homes where she can get the help she needs.  Look into the mental instutions in your area, they usually take people with little or no insuransce if that is an issue for her.

Feeding a 1 month old only 3 times a day is child abuse and she needs to understand that.  If not, she should not have the baby in her possesion.  Please don't let her take the baby.  

SERIOUSLY********** She is abusing this child!  Babies eat every 1 1/2 - 3 hours.  I mean, she can NOT love her baby that much if she is feeding him only 3 times a day!

WTF?

She should have never had a baby.  You can't love your baby and not want to feed it.  That is just INSANE.  Your sister is not normal, therefore needs to have her precious heart broken before she kills this baby.

GET HER HELP NOW.

Answer 10

A one month old needs to eat more than 3 times a day. She needs help or the baby needs your care or the baby could be in real danger.

Answer 11

call children services... the baby should not have to suffer because the mother is a r****d...  

Answer 12

Consult her again and again and debate the reasons for why you think against what she thinks, you could change here mind.

Alternatively - You could let her do what she thinks.
