Sugar drink versus milk to baby?

Gosh? I was so surprised! Today, I entered a boutique taken care by a young girl. Then I found out that she's a mother of a 2 year old baby. This I asked because she kept asking me where I place my toddler when I go out to work.

I am quite lucky. I manage to send my daughter to a kindergarden in the morning, and be taken off at the nursery later till 5.00pm at the same venue when I got back from work. The charge is onlyRM 160.00 including daily food. What's most important is that, I know that my toddler is being well taken care of.

Back to the mother just now. I was surprised when she told me, her baby no longer take milk but instead, being given sugar drink. She actually just gave her baby, sugar in water as her baby wouldn't accept milk. I said, that's not right. She can actually change her milk with other flavours, like honey, chocolate or even strawberry. I told her, she's the adult not the baby so she must decide and find answers to her child problem. To me it sounds like a neglegance.

She doesn't look like a person who can't afford a better substitute for her child. Oh! How could she.
