feeding Aaron

[Winnie]

This isn't really that important, but I was wondering what they are feeding Aaron. Claire has been missing for some time now and with all the travelling back and forth Aaron must be really hungry.

[Faith]

Haha, that's so weird. My friends and I were wondering the same thing! The kid hasn't eaten since season 3!

Poor kid barely gets out of bed!   

[StandingwithAbdiel]

haha, my wife was going crazy saying "But no one can feed Aaron" when they were on the raft. Perspectives change when you have a child of your own.

He also hasn't had a diaper change in several days. 

[Knitnmom]

Not only that...but I found myself wondering how Jack was going to explain his missing appendix..what Kate's GYN is going to think when she goes for a checkup - doesn't a woman's body change after giving birth (or is it only temporary?)
These things are going to keep me up at night! ;-)

Um...yeah...as a nursing mother of a 6month old I am UBER impressed at the size of this 5 week old baby who never eats    heh

...and I haven't seen anybody except Hurly (and some other dude) "going to the bathroom" for 3 months either and Hurley din't get the chance chance to finish his business.... It's strange... very strange.

Speaking as a labor and delivery nurse, I can assure you that there are permanent changes to a woman's uterus.  Any doctor or nurse practitioner can tell if a woman has had a baby. 

As for feeding that baby, that struck me also.  How many hours was he away from Claire?  Anyone figure that out?

Maybe they gave him something on the Searcher.

He did not have diapers.  Nothing to change.  Maybe they did it like the primitive tribes that sense when the baby is going to let loose and hold them at arms length.  This big plot error bugged me a bunch.

And noone brushes their teeth except for Walt... Really bad smelling kisses on that island.....

But at least we know Kate gives herself a sponge bath in the tidepool.  I think that was a few episodes back.  Salt water seems to do wonders for her with no moisturizer in sight.

[The Eye Lander]

Good! Now we have cracked this show! The only thing that makes LOST unrealistic is the fact that Aaron didn't get fed. Except for an invisible HUGE island, Lockes broken back that got healed, a terminally ill cancer patient getting well, a smoke monster protecting the island, a lethal sonic fence, a cabin that moves and dead people talking to survivors of a plane crash that would kill Rambo. But the non-starving baby is a real mystery!!! I know you said it yourselves but.... But H E L L O :

you are awesome eye lander

[piano_gal_79]

Yes...Eye Lander....it is.  I don't think anyone here said that they were going to stop watching the shower over these things it was just something we noticed.

Kind of funny that they take so much care to make sure all of the science and math and everything else is realistic and you can talk about theories all day long, but we mention something as simple as this and we get made fun of.  Lighten up a bit...we're just conversing.

It's also funny that they make the effort to show us how the adults get their food and water, and even go off and relieve themselves.  Yet the baby's needs aren't addressed at all.  I know they were pressed for time and had more important things to show us, but it sure would've been funny watching Sawyer deal with these issues during the 24 hours he and Miles spent looking for Claire.
