I mean, the demon doesn't kick in until the Wamp kids hit puberty, right? I'd imagine it's not trying to feed until they're older. But I can't recall if something was said about that.

yea, Thomas I think it was talked about the hunger feeds on the mother, which is a disconnect from it manifesting at puberty.. maybe it needs to gather energy and go from larva to cocoon... And the first feeding is what basically breaks the cocoon to let a fully fledged hunger demon emerge?

That is the impression given from the descriptions of 'coming of age' white vampires, from the youngest Raith (Inara or something?) and from the short story with River Shoulders son.

It is sort of logical. Where else does all the spiritual energy for growth come from? The demon has to grow too.
What can be dangerous is that the child is feeder nemesis contaminated spiritual energy. That can give as many complications as Jim wants.
Dina:
Thomas said that the child's hunger fed from Justine (during all the pregnancy, I understood) and that only 50% of the mothers survived the actual birthright.

Yup, and remember I took heat because I asked whether or not, as hard as it would be if they had considered aborting since the chances were very high that Justine wouldn't survive the pregnancy.
