no, report them to CPS if they’re feeding him that. Garcinia supresses
apetite, chormium boost and green tea boost the metabolism, dandelion is a diuretic, and cayenne burns calories. I don’t even take that crap and I’m in my late 20′s.

I Am Not sure but no a child’s body must develop naturally and the body’s balances sould not be altered unless for some reason it has too and yes if the body’s system is drastically altered it can set of reactions in body the child could be losing vital stuff in body due to it being messed with remember everything isn’t always what it seems
and i am not a pediatrician

NO a 6 month old should NOT be on that. Contact social services and inform them of what they are giving to the child because the child's health is in jeopardy

That’s wrong, IMO. Maybe his arents are trying to get him all skinny for when he’s older, but I reckon he’ll have real weight problems.

I’d tell someone about this if I was you.

Next time, if possible, try bringing up the feed in conversation – casually, you don’t want the parents to realise what you’re trying to do (i.e. feed the kid something other than formula milk).

Tell the parents something like "My friend was told to feed her baby what you’re giving yours. She had the worst nappy rash you ever saw, alkways looked tired and bloated. The baby died *however long ago*, aged 6 months.
Phoning police, Childline or a doctor would also be wise. (Do you have Childline in the USA?)

Either you call or have someone else call social services. That is terrible. No baby would be ok taking that stuff. Do you know where they live? Something needs to be done. I’d call the Social Services if I had their # my e-mail is missmarymrpete@yahoo.com leave me name, address and when they are likely to be home and # to social services, I’ll use my cell phone. That baby is at risk for death…a reaction from one of those ingredients. Some of them adults can’t take. It’s your responsibility to do something. Please.
