Mother gets 20 years for breast-feeding death
A judge sentenced a woman in South Carolina to 20 years in prison on Friday (Local time) for killing her six-week-old daughter with what prosecutors say was an overdose of morphine delivered through her breast milk. Ref. Source 4
Breast feeding a baby while doped-up on morphine? That's irresponsible! I can see why the mother was arrested for murder.
A mother should realize what she eats is what she digests and feeds to the baby. This includes drugs. I wouldn't recommend feeding babies while drunk or high on medication. I wouldn't even recommend feeding an infant after eating jalapenos or other spicy foods either as the intense spiciness could harm the child.
