As stupid as this woman is, the real issue here is the medical professionals who discharged this baby under these conditions:

By the first 24 hours, he had nursed a total of 9.3 hours, had zero wet diapers and four dirty diapers. By 27 hours, he had lost 4.76%. His nursing sessions became longer and longer until he was on the breast continuously by the second day of life. On the second day, he produced 3 wet diapers and 6 dirty diapers and nursed for almost 14 hours total. By 53 hours of life, he had lost 9.72%.

Come on, what the fuck? You're professionally trained to know a baby losing that much of its body weight right after birth is a serious problem.

Obese mothers are more likely to have problems lactating. Another problem with FA bullshit is that no one bothered to acknowledge this, most likely because they didn't want to offend anyone. Now a baby is dead possibly because doctors didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Obese and pcos? And no one thought to check her milk supply? So many fucking failures in this story. Ugh.

I had a baby 6 weeks ago and EVERY nurse except one was enormous. Not just overweight but seriously obese.
