A hospital spokesman spoke to Chinese media;
"It was really shocking, the arm was badly damaged and suffered not
only heavy bruising but bleeding as a result of the bite. Fortunately, doctors
managed to insert something to stop her closing her teeth and then levered her
jaws apart. After that they gave her a sedative and took the baby to a secure
location."
Authorities said the woman's
mother-in-law had thrown her out on the streets despite being pregnant after
she started acting mental at home.
They say they are trying to find out why the new mum tried to eat her baby. The baby has since been taken into the care of the government.
