If they're so concerned about that poor little baby's physical & emotional well being, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't lock up its (albeit IQ-challenged) mother for 5 years. I'd like to think our justice system is smarter than this - jail isn't the only way to punish some one for being foolish & negligent. How does this benefit the baby???

I hadn't heard of the story till I saw it here~I pulled it up before writing this. I'm due this coming March & plan to breastfeed, though completely sober. I have breastfed prior children, never while drinking or drunk. Thanks for your post, Amber; well said! I agree w/you, Amber.

Couldn't there be some restorative community justice, say, humilation at all the publicity, some education... etc. She pleaded guilty, afterall, knowing only about this subject from the above blurb I have no idea what her attitude is, no cues on her lifestyle from her "look" etc. but that she is breastfeeding might say something. A child needs their parent and I think there's a lot of room between good parent, the good of having A parent and an actual "bad" parent. All parents have flaws and make mistakes. I don't like what she did, but afterall, mothers in Germany traditionally give baby warm beer to help sleep... Not that this is wht the lady did, but it won't kill the child. …I just wonder what good it will do that child for her mother to be in jail for 5 years.
