While this could be true in some incarnations of the ring, and indeed make a good idea for a cursed (misenchanted?) ring of sustenance... If this type of thing were to happen to a baby it would happen to an adult as well. The muscular atrophy and disuse of the digestive system after only a year would likely be enough to make it never possible to eat again.And there's no such warning or notation on the ring in the rules. So that won't happen to an adult, and it won't happen to the baby.There's a reason why this ring which simulates divine cantrips (create food and water) costs an entire 2K gold. It also has healing and indeed *sustaining* properties on the digestive system as a whole. This would be a much more reasonable ruling. In fact I support it in every way. But mainly because the ring of flying doesn't say anything about sustaining the body. On the other hand, a ring of sustenance pretty clearly does sustain the body, and there's no negative effect from wearing it overlong. (There was in "real" D&D. But the 3.X doppleganger doesn't have any negative effects to wearing the ring for any length of time)</blockquote>
