but really, i mean 3.5 pounds? i don't care what kind of diet your baby is on, you'd have to be willfully ignoring it at that point, because i'm guessing that's less than what the baby weighed when it went home.
if they were so adamant about the vegan diet, they should have worked with someone to ensure that the baby was well nourished, this is negligent, vegan or not.

I thought that episode of House was the one with the vegans who were feeding their baby a raw diet and caused pneumonia and malnutrition.
The lack of nutrients in this couple's diet have killed some braincells if they think a 3.5lb baby is healthy and normal.
