Open Question: At what point during infancy can babies tell the difference between their own mother's milk scent and another?
Can anyone give me a brief summary of premchand's story तेंतर ? The beginning was easier to understand but the vocabulary towards the end got kind of difficult and online dictionaries or translation sites aren't helping.
So far I have understood that in this household with a mom, dad, dadi, and 3 sons, a baby girl has been born. At first they don't know whether to celebrate the birth or not, they end up celebrating it but just because it would look strange if they didn't since they did when each of the 3 boys were born. So they were not celebrating out of love for the baby. Initially they didn't take care of the baby at all, didn't feed her milk (such that her mother was no longer to produce milk at all after some months) and fed her alcohol. I guess they were trying to kill the child? One night the father sees the baby awake and feels pity for her and takes her outside. From then on one of the sons feeds her milk from a goat every day and the baby becomes healthy again.
This is where it becomes confusing for me. I know the dadi doesn't want the baby so she gets sick? And says some things about how all the milk will attract snakes. But I'm not sure what exactly the dadi does and how the story ends.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Open Question: What would happen to the baby?
The baby I'm asking about is my niece(my brother Cody & his gf Kate's baby)My brothers(Cody & Mike) , their girlfriends(Kate & Marie)(who are sisters)and my dad went to the lake today and I met them there. Well Marie made the mistake of telling me that her and Cody smoked a joint before I got there & then later both my brothers and Marie and some random guy left and smoked more. And Kate isn't a good mother to begin with and she doesn't take good care of the baby...so what all can I do to get the baby out of that situation >> full story
