A Mother’s Cold Heart: Rozy Refuses to Feed Her Baby

Mother Rozy No Feeling Love Her Baby Newborn and Attempt to Abandon Without Feeding Milk

In the quiet early morning deep within the forest, a tiny newborn monkey lay motionless on the soft jungle floor. Her eyes, barely open, blinked slowly in the dim light filtering through the canopy. She was fragile, barely strong enough to lift her head, her soft fur still damp from birth. This should have been a time of bonding, warmth, and first nourishment. But sadly, the newborn’s world was cold and empty—because her mother, Rozy, was nowhere near.

Rozy had just given birth hours ago. She was a mature female in the troop, known for her strength and independence. But this time, something was terribly wrong. Rozy showed no signs of bonding with her baby. From the moment the infant was born, Rozy stayed distant, watching with cold, unreadable eyes. Instead of pulling her newborn close to feed and protect her, she backed away slowly, almost as if the baby meant nothing to her.

The newborn whimpered softly, instinctively reaching for her mother with her tiny fingers. But Rozy did not respond. She turned her head, climbed up a low branch, and sat alone, grooming herself as if she hadn’t just brought a new life into the world. The baby lay there alone—hungry, cold, and confused. She hadn’t yet had a single drop of milk.

Other monkeys in the troop seemed to notice. A few females came close, curious about the little one. Some even sniffed her, gently poked her, but they quickly moved on, following Rozy’s lead. No one stepped in. The baby remained uncared for, her soft cries echoing like quiet heartbreak through the trees.

As the day went on, it became clear Rozy was trying to abandon her baby. She avoided the infant’s side entirely, even when the baby tried to crawl toward her. Several times, the tiny newborn reached her mother’s foot or tail—only for Rozy to shake her off or walk away quickly. There was no attempt to hold, no instinct to feed. It was as if Rozy felt nothing for her newborn.

Why did Rozy behave this way? Perhaps she was stressed, or emotionally unwell. In wild monkey troops, this behavior isn’t common, but it happens. Some mothers—due to trauma, confusion, or lack of maternal instinct—fail to accept their babies. And when that happens, the outcome is heartbreaking.

As the sun began to set and shadows grew longer, the baby monkey grew weaker. Her cries faded. She was still waiting, still hoping that Rozy would change her mind and return with warmth and milk. But Rozy sat far away, watching the jungle around her, not even glancing back at her baby.

This tragic day in the jungle ended with one small life slowly slipping into silence—not because of danger or predators, but because the love and care every newborn deserves never came. A mother’s absence, a missed connection, and a broken beginning—this was the sad story of a baby monkey never given a chance.
