A seven-month-old baby died weighing just 9lbs after his parents fed him an alternative gluten-free, lactose-free diet. The mother and father, who ran a natural food store in Belgium, insisted on putting their son Lucas on an alternative diet that included quinoa milk. Doctors warn that such a diet is generally unsuitable for such young children. His diet led to him being less than half the expected weight for a boy his age, weighing 9.47lbs — just over the average weight for a newborn baby — before he died.
