Before everyone starts blaming me, you should know a few things:

I was the bigger person by giving back the baby to her. I put my child's needs before my own by returning her to the mother even though she's an unfit mother with mental problems.

I was advised on here by someone to go get the baby so that I could establish the "status quo."

You guys are always telling people on here that without a court order, and with a married couple, one parent can always go get the child and the other parent can't do anything about it. I wasn't wrong to get my child. I have a right to. And when I noticed she wasn't feeling well, I gave her back.

And I think it is manipulative for her to not introduce formula to the baby. In our situation, she should be more accomodating.

So I guess the answer to my question is "yes." I can be charged with neglect. Awesome.
You have not gone about things in a normal, reasonable way.

You cannot steal a baby from a home when everyone is sleeping. What the HELL would you think if the baby was with you and you woke up one morning and she was missing?

You are NOT the bigger person, because a normal person would never, ever steal a baby in the middle of the night. Not ever.

You think it's manipulative for a mother to breastfeed your child?!! Why don't you do some research on breastfed babies vs. bottle fed babies regarding future health issues and get back to us?

You have more than just anxiety issues. You need more counseling than you've been getting.
