The story behind the baby being fed coffee every day is sad
According to the comprehensive report, at first glance, katisha, an Indonesian girl, is the same as other children of the same age. At the age of 2, she could walk and play by herself, so that her parents had no time to sleep. However, unlike many other children, she has been drinking coffee instead of milk since she was six months old.
It is reported that salafudin and Anita, a couple from west Sulawesi province, Indonesia, live in poverty. They are engaged in peeling coconut and earn 20000 rupees a day,
Anita said, 'there's nothing we can do. Our income is not enough to buy milk. We were forced to feed her coffee every day. If she doesn't drink coffee, she can't even sleep '.
It is reported that kadesa drinks 5 cups of coffee a day, nearly 1.5 liters. Anita said that if the baby didn't drink it, he would even cry and don't want to sleep.
Anita and her husband salafudin said that in addition to helping to lift rice out of the field during the harvest season, their only source of livelihood is to peel coconut meat, so that they can earn more money.
Fortunately, Anita and her husband can earn 40000 rupees a day by peeling coconut, but only if the coconut is processed into dried coconut. Otherwise, they will have to rest at home until there is enough coconut processing.
Anita was worried about her daughter's health, 'but there was nothing we could do. Our income was not enough to buy milk. We were forced to feed her coffee every day.'
It is reported that the Health Bureau of mandar County, boriwali, conducted a health examination on the girl on the 17th and found no abnormalities.
However, Saleh, director of the community health development department, pointed out that in the long run, caffeine and sugar intake will still harm children's development. "We ask children's parents not to continue to feed coffee. The Health Bureau has issued milk, baby food and other supplementary foods, such as biscuits. In this way, kadesa can drink milk again and grow up healthily like children of the same age. "
