"Sister-in-Law Banned from Babysitting for Unauthorized 'Crunchy Mom' Ear Infection Treatment"

A mom banned her sister-in-law from babysitting her daughter after the sister-in-law used breastmilk to treat the girl's ear infection without permission. The mom was enraged and argued with her sister-in-law, leading to hurt feelings all around. Commenters agreed that non-parental figures should not make medical decisions for children without consent, and advised the mom to set boundaries with her sister-in-law while acknowledging her good intentions. Trusting parental intuition is important, and while breastmilk may have healing properties for the baby it's biologically designed for, consequential decisions should not be made for other people’s kids without their active consent.
