[@acm9711]

Hope that Mom and baby will be reunited so she can care for her little peanut!! I understand we humans reacted in what they thought was best, but he should have been returned to mom after checking him over and giving him some colostrum!! Mom looks to be a mature female that has probably had other babies.

[@SapphirasMama]

Mum was weak from the delivery and the procedure to remove the retained placenta. You don't want baby to deteriorate because mum herself was too weak and slow to recover from the everything that happened. Every baby is precious and we would also be in an uproar if we found that baby had died because the staff didn't step in when mum was to weak to look after her baby. Once both are strong enough, I am sure they will be reunited

[@acm9711]

@@SapphirasMama You’re totally right!! I am always concerned when they say “baby will be returned…….” because so many infants never get returned or are returned so long after delivery they don’t remember their baby. What would normally be 3 to 5 days maybe turns into weeks or months. If the care staff allows momma to hold, love, groom, and be near momma daily, that can change the problems separation create. But I’ve only seen that on very, very rare cases. I love these mommy’s and their babies and believe they should absolutely be protected. 🐒🐒🐒

[@pamelajackson6954]

I agree. Never seen a zoo that didn't make the tough decision. Momma's and babies are always separated which makes it easier to break that bond and bond them to zookeepers instead. A week would have been long enough but they keep them apart for other reasons.

[@acm9711]

@@pamelajackson6954 That is so sad. I guess that’s what comes with captivity. It MUST break momma’s heart to not have her baby. And I’m sure many females make themselves sick with worry and concern for their little one. 😢😢

[@LittleLulubee]

@@acm9711 I believe their goal is to always keep mamas and babies together, when possible. They’re only separated when the mom can’t properly care for the kid. But in this case, because the mom is already improving, I hope they can be reunited soon 🙏💗💗

[@fookpappyvanwinkle9162]

So, the mother woke up from the procedure but you still withheld the baby from the mother? So what’s the reason why you didn’t give it back to her mother yet?

[@HonestlyAnnaFun]

Contrary to popular beliefs some apes struggle with being mothers. They may neglect a baby, causing emotional damage to the young. So many times keepers will step in for the baby and guide the mom to better care or find a female who will accept the care for the baby. It's like the Zoo version of CPS.

CONGRATULATIONS !! Beautiful wee baby girl , sincerely hope both Mom & Baby will be ok . Would her Mom receiving meds not have spread to baby if Mom had been able to give her little girl her 1st milk ? Thank you for all you do :) Zoe , Canada

[@kimmieh8419]

Exactly my question! I’m so happy I didn’t post it as well. Yours was the third comment so I didn’t have to look far to run into someone with those same thoughts! My concern was the milk would have too much of the meds and it would harm her, but she’s good! They must know that her initial milk wouldn’t have absorbed it that quick? 🤷‍♀️ I know in human babies the Colostrum is the most important milk to give their immune system a boost. And new moms who deliver babies and get meds breast feed right away also so there must be a way that it doesn’t get into the milk that much OR if it does, there’s only trace amounts. In any case, she’s fine so it’s all good!😁👍

[@SapphirasMama]

Mum took hours to recover from the procedure to remove the retained placenta. She was also still weak from the delivery and meds given to her. So the keepers were doing what mum couldn't do at the time. They will eventually introduce mum and bub to each other when both are strong again. They want to avoid baby getting weaker cause mum was not strong enough herself to care for her baby.

[@islanders1329fan]

Baby Chimps are adorable yes they are. But everyone needs to remember that they grow fast and once they are a fully grown adult, look out. They’ll have the strength of 5 men and will be impossible to manage and control and even worse, they’ll show just how horribly dangerous they can get. That’s why people can’t get so moved by how cute they are as a baby and give in to the temptation to wanna adopt one as a pet. Socializing it with among humans since it was a infant and treating it like a child of their own will not domesticate them. Chimps are always gonna do what Chimps do when they become a fully grown adult. It’s in their DNA.

[@elliesouza717]

No one needs to concern themselves with that unless they are stupid enough to try to make them a pet, illegally. They are experts and the point is to allow them to live like the chimps they are. You aren't actually making any point

[@nena2281]

Personally I feel the baby needs to be with its mother. I know mom needed medical intervention, but baby needs to be returned to its mother. I'm willing to bet that if they were in the wild the after birth would have come out on its own and mom and baby would be happily together. It must be so upsetting for mom to have her newborn taken away from her. Of course I'm not there, not a vet, and probably talking out of my behind. I just feel bad for the mother.

[@StoneInMySandal]

Placental retention is one of the leading non-violent causes of death in chimpanzees, wild or otherwise. People look at the apes the same way they look at dogs, but that’s just not the case. All the apes (including humans) have the same complex and highly dangerous birthing processes. In 1900 maternal mortality in the US was 835 maternal deaths per 100,000 births. Today is 17.5 maternal deaths per 100,000 births. The same medical practices that have saved so many human mothers are now used on the apes and they have seen an 85% rise in successful births as a result. Primate reproduction is brutal.

[@elliesouza717]

Personally, I'm 100% sure you don't have a clue. They aren't humans and you aren't an expert

[@gritskennedy5007]

Initial breastfeeding contains antibodies the mother developes just for the baby whose immune system is unable to protect baby from bacteria and viruses. The concentrated thick sticky serum called colostrum also contains electrolytes vitamins minerals fats and hydration enough calories to properly hydrate and give baby the nutrition needed until the mothers milk comes in which can take up to 48 hours.

Also mum was too weak to look after her baby properly. I know most people would be in an uproar cause baby was left with a weak mother and had died (that is if the staff didn't step in). Every baby is precious cause we humans decide that their homes have better use for land and lumber, used as a show piece (circus), entertainment for tourists on the streets (not including zoos and reserves) or as a pet that is more than likely neglected.

[@ccoop3774]

It's very likely mom and baby would have died had the zoo staff not intervened.

I very much agree, they need to learn that their interference can hinder their lives more so then help , they don't even give them the chance to adjust naturally,and it's wrong ,if there is severe means to take the infant then that is one thing but that baby latched rite on to her mommy so this comment is correct in my eyes
