A woman has refused to breastfeed her newborn baby who was born with a strange-looking face which forced the mother to abandon it after delivery.
According to the doctor who delivered the baby from her mother, he states the abnormalities in this baby is due to the premature birth and also the engagement of some hazardous activities by the mother during pregnancy.
The mother has abandoned her premature baby girl born at an Indian city because she looks like an alien figure. The 28-year-old mother, who refused to reveal her identity, gave birth to the girl at a government-run hospital in Patna district of Bihar, in eastern India yesterday.
The shocked parents called the child a curse and refused to accept her like that. After she was brought home, the mother refused to hold her in her arms and feed her.
The mother said: “I have no idea how did this happen. Me and family are completely devastated. I am in shock as I was really looking forward to becoming a mother of a healthy child, be it a girl or a boy.”
Doctors believe that the girl wouldn’t survive for long as none of her organs have developed properly and that the probability of survival of such cases is only one in 10 million, according to The Express.
The rare genetic condition called Harlequin Ichthyosis happens due to an acute case of malnutrition causing thickening of the skin and facial deformities. Within hours of the news of the bizarre looking girl’s birth broke, scores of locals flocked to the hospital to have a glimpse of her.
