I get that TFB but there is difference between eating a safe, normal food and doing something potentially fatal. I'm saying that when our children make safe choices should we be be controlling them? If our children wanted to eat some carrots (assuming no allergies etc) would it be ok to say our children can't eat them because we didn't grow them or because we don't like carrots?
Obviously parents have the right to act in their children's best interests but also a child has a right to appropriate nutrition delivered in a timely manner and to quiet enjoyment of its life. If a child's mother removes herself and hence the babies access to nutrition maybe the other mother is only respecting the child's rights by giving it a feed and a cuddle.
