A widower discovers that his stepmother was breastfeeding his baby in his absence. He confides in this shocking discovery that turned his life upside down.
It’s an unthinkable story experienced by this young father of a family. While he has just welcomed his first child into the world, his wife, Anne, dies a few minutes after giving birth. She was only 34, but had had a difficult pregnancy. The young dad even took indefinite leave to take care of his wife, then his daughter, Sammy, now an orphan. But when the latter celebrated its 4 months, the father of the family had to return to work. He then seeks a solution to keep his daughter.
Her mother-in-law then offers to help her. Although he has some reluctance, he ends up accepting her offer. “I told her she was free to come any time of the day if she felt uncomfortable with a nanny looking after Sammy, but she insisted on doing it herself. he explained on the Reddit forum. He then tells how this babysitting happened which apparently nothing to worry aboute. “My mother-in-law arrives 30 minutes before I leave for work, and when I get home she stays for dinner and leaves after putting Sammy to sleep.” he explains. So far, everything is going well.
She was breastfeeding her baby without his consent
“Everything was fine for the first two weeks, until I noticed that Sammy wasn’t feeding as much” explains the father who also sees that his baby’s milk was barely touched. His mother-in-law simply explains to him that she tried to breastfeed the little girl. “At first I thought she was joking, then I realized she wasn’t” says Sammy’s father, shocked by this discovery. “She said Sammy needed to breastfeed for a few minutes each day to ‘activate’ her milk supply.” he added. The young father tells that he almost lost his baby and that he asked his mother-in-law never to breastfeed his child again. The father decides to find a nanny, but two days after hiring him, she will never come back. Her mother-in-law simply fired her. The story goes further when the grandmother threatens to call social services to report the father for hiring a nanny she calls incompetent. An argument breaks out between the two and the father of the family ends up calling the police. Thus putting his father-in-law and his brother-in-law on his back! Some users of the Reddit forum were shocked to discover this funny story.
