“just casually brought it up like it was the most normal thing ever.”

“does not produce breastmilk” adding that she

“wasn’t even trying to feed the baby.”

The mom

“sat there in shock”

as her in-law explained what she did. The stunned mother

“then started nervous laughing.” 

She later informed her husband and started to cry. The distraught mother went on to write,
