The tiny tot, who hasn't even been named yet, is being looked after by her grandfather who has been feeding her with goat milk from a spoon for two weeks before he could get her to a hospital in Maharashtra, western India.Mamata Dode, 25, the baby's mother, is said to have refused to feed the youngster because of her strange looks and hasn't visited her in hospital. Even her father, Ajay Dode, also 25, has refused to accept her as his.The infant’s grandfather Dilip Dode, 50, brought her to hospital in Mumbai, around 138 kilometres away from the village where she was born, after she became ill.
He said:
Mr Dode, a labourer, said that his son and his wife had been expecting a healthy child just like their three-year-old daughter Payal, but were left in horror when their new baby was born with unusual features.
He said:
Wadia Hospital in Mumbai has agreed to meet the cost of her treatment, expected to be 500,000 rupees (around £5,000), and has arranged accommodation on the premisies for Mr Dode.
