#1 Wow, I didn't realize being Vegan meant no breastmilk for babies. But I guess it makes sense in a warped way.

#2 "I'm dying every day in there"

Works for me.

At least you won't get the chance to murder another baby.

Works for me.

#4 Nothing to be sorry about, Barb. Warrants repetition.

#5 This should have been a conviction on a capital offence.

#6 This should have been a conviction on a capital offence.

It was, unfortunately the baby was executed for his parents' stupidity. Let's all hope the judge possessed sufficient wisdom to prohibit any future conjugal visits for these two assclowns.

Ya gotta wonder if they actually tried to make the child survive on a diet of strained peas and applesauce. HELL, at six weeks, the kid wasn't even supposed to be on regular food of any sort. No meat, no cheese, no eggs, no milk, not even HONEY, fer fuck's sake. You've got to wonder, as Gladys speculated whether they even prohibited the child its own mother's milk. It's one of the only ways to explain the poor thing's starvation. Aren't there entirely synthetic infant formulas for newborns who are fatally allergic to all milk products? This is dangerously close to the Seventh Day Adventists who try to prohibit their children from receiving transfusions and other life-saving medical interventions.

#8 I was a Seventh-day Adventist, and they believe in no such thing. In fact, they have a very large hospital system that uses all the latest techniques and technology, and their people are top notch. They feed that system with two accredited medical schools and about 10 nursing colleges.

You're mistaking them for the Jehovah's Witnesses. Yeah, they're vegans, and legalists, but they were never legalistic about that, and accepted meat eaters as members in good standing. They'll be the FIRST to tell you to take whatever medical and dietary measures it takes to stay in good health, and if what you're doing isn't working, CHANGE TO SOMETHING THAT DOES.

#9 Pure and total crap!

The Tsarevich is on a soy based formula as a supplement to breast milk. He can't tolerate one with a milk base. It's expensive, but it's what he needs, so we just have to suck it up until he gets older.

And to answer Zenster's question, yes, there are specialty formulas out there for kids who can't tolerate the milk or soy based regular ones. My niece is on one, and so is one of the Tsarevich's little "buddies". Both girls are doing great.

Not that I qualify, but through my mom's group I have it on good authority that if you are poor and need to have formula for your little one, it's covered under the WIC programs in each state, specifically to avoid the very real possibility of a baby starving to death by parents trying to use substitutes that are nutritionally inferior.

They just wanted to cheap it out by using far less expensive soy milk, and the poor little boy paid the price. Hell, the Tsarevich is 7 1/2 months, and he's still considered too young for apple juice! What the hell were these idiots thinking??

Rest in peace, Crown.

#10 Ptah, thank you for the correction. It was, indeed, the JWs I was think of. I appreciate you checking in.
