[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I actually enjoy catching trolls and I encourage users to report suspected troll threads. It's possible that the thread in question was started by a troll. But, I don't have conclusive evidence to support that. The unlikelihood of the story is not enough to make a determination. I'm also not a breastfeeding expert. As a result, it is entirely plausible to me that a mother who hasn't nursed for 4 months could begin lactating after a few days. But, posters who are more knowledgeable are welcome to disabuse me of this idea.

Yeah, it's pretty outside the realm of possibility and that is just one of the inconsistencies in her post. She originally said that the aunt was using a supplemental nursing system (SNS). This is tubing that directs formula to a small outlet that is taped next to the caregiver's nipple so that when the baby sucks for the breastmilk, it both stimulates supply and gets formula out. OP said that the aunt was using this SNS to placate the child to drink formula and stimulate her supply. She later said that the aunt had to exclusively pump for the baby because the baby wouldn't take breastmilk. So which is it? There were a few other implausibilities that other posters have pointed out. For one thing, there's just no chance that a mom would stay locked up in a room for a week without anyone intervening. If this IS real, the OP should have her IP reported so that the police / authorities can get in and help that baby, because the OP has put on a thread that irresponsible caregivers are withholding urgent medical attention from a "starving baby" who has not eaten or drank anything for over 20 hours - a medical emergency. A child in that condition would be hospitalized. [/quote]
