In Kenya, a baby born with an usual facial structure dies after mother disagreed to breastfeed her.

The baby who was born on Sunday, August 27, did not have eye and her nose was position where the eye is supposed to be and her family disclosed that the mother, Ms Mariam Mwakonbo, 22, resisted feeing the baby.

The baby out of hunger cried for hours and finally died later in the day.

Mariam Mwakombo told Kenya’s newspaper Nation:

“She frightened me. I have never seen such a human being.Ms Mwakombo’s husband, Hassan Kitoto, said he too could not comprehend why God gave him such a child.
“I am equally scared. I have never seen such a human being. Whatever the elders will decide let it be,” he said.

The mother gave birth to the baby at home and her family members decided to throw the baby in a deserted place for the gods of their land to take care of the baby but she died before then.

The family members actually watched the baby died after taking her to the hospital.

The mother, Ms Mwakombo said:

“Hospitals are very far and I couldn’t afford the clinic at private hospitals. I used traditional methods.“My water broke while I was doing my chores and she just came out. She’s seven months old. I never felt any pains during her birth. But on looking at her we realised she did not have eyes. I was dumb founded.“The best we can do is throw her in a dungeon in a forest. I did not name her. I could not breastfeed her lest the omen falls on me”.
