breastfeeding post

someone mentioned about the lady breastfeeding a puppy yesterday ( orrecently anyway)

Heres an update as I cant find the post

Puppy breastfeeder loses child



The three-month-old baby of a Hawke's Bay woman who was breastfeeding a puppy is understood to have been removed from her care.


A spokesperson for Child Youth and Family Services confirmed yesterday that they were dealing with the family of Kura Tumanako – the Hastings mother who shocked Hawke's Bay residents with claims that she was breastfeeding her puppy.

The spokesperson could not release any more information about Ms Tumanako's situation, saying confidentiality issues prevented it.

The service becomes involved in suspected child abuse cases if they are notified and believe a child is at risk.

The Dominion Post understands Ms Tumanako has been in the Hawke's Bay mental health unit this week.

Staff from the Hastings Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have visited two Staffordshire bull terrier puppies owned by the pregnant Ms Tumanako.

Hastings SPCA chairman Janet Mitchell said yesterday that staff had gone to a home where the two puppies were being cared for in the last couple of days after getting a call to check on them. The puppies, which were six or seven weeks old, needed to have vaccinations but were otherwise fine.

"We are satisfied with their condition and care at the moment," Ms Mitchell said. There was no indication yet that the SPCA would be asked to find new homes for them.

Ms Tumanako revealed this week that she was breastfeeding a puppy twice a day and wanted the dog to grow up to protect her baby daughter.

Her baby had stopped being breastfed and Ms Tumanako did not want her milk to go to waste.

Dog behaviour experts feared the dog could end up aggressive or with behavioural problems from being breastfed.
