I dont know how I could move forward if I was this mother. I am sure the grandfather has learnt a huge lesson but even so it shows he has zero common sense so therefore I would never allow any of my children to ever be left alone with him ever again.

What an awful thing to happen! This is very upsetting and if anyone comes near my child with alcohol, I will politely (or not) tell them to rack off!

This is tragic. It’s so hard to trust anyone with your baby but you would think if you were there they would be safe. Poor family I hope anyone who thinks giving babies or children alcohol reads this article.

This is just incredibly sad. My little one is 15 months old and I have never left her with any of our family. When she was 4 months old I had an argument with my partners nana who thought I was being ridiculous for not letting her give my daughter malteasers. My dad also left out some toilet cleaner a few months back and my daughter started to eat it. I honestly don’t trust anyone outside of myself and my partner to look after her!

WTF! How on earth can this happen EVER? That poor mother. How do you get over something like that?

What the hell? Truly demented. Hope he rots in jail.

How could he be so stupid the poor parents how do you move on from this

Tragic and such stupidity, what were they thinking?

why the heck would you be wanting to give a baby alcohol??

Hopefully this will stop other grandparents doing such a silly thing in the future.

This is so incredibly tragic and irresponsible on the part of those to blame – just awful.

Oh dear. Such stupid actions lacking thoughts of consequences, yield heartbreak and grief. I pray the dear mother will somehow be able to be comforted in this tragic time of harm to her baby son. The loss she has suffered is horrific. Be at peace dear little one and also Mumma, may you find comfort and support in your time of loss.

Such a heartbreaking tragedy. I cannot believe the stupidity of this grand parent. I can only imagine the emotional turmoil the family is going through. Heart goes out to them.

My thought’s are with this family. I hope this creates awareness and alerts all people of the dangers surrounding babies and any form of drug substance.

I feel sorry for all of them. Such an unnecessary tragedy.

No, I was so careful as a first time mum and I don’t regret a second if protecting my baby. I had a grandparent repeatedly try kiss my newborn son on the lips!

What the ??!!

So stupid that a tradition or belief came before the well being of a child.

I hope the grandfather has a mental issue, whereby he did what he was told not knowing it was wrong! He is bloody lucky the baby’s mother only slapped him! The poor family. It’s hard to think that this can even happen.

What the F?! How can anyone be so dumb??!!
