I don't think you need to give her a phone number for a child who can't talk on the phone. that seems like common sense.
As for the doctors visits, she is the child's mother (until a court rules otherwise) and I would encourage her to come to the doctor visits. Even if you suspect another motive - maybe she needs to hear it from the doctor. Maybe she needs to hear the doctor say "your child has X,Y,Z" rather than her it from a CW or from you. Most people respect doctors and will listen and believe what they say. Also in many places the mom will have to be the one who signs for medical concent to any procedures for the child (yeah, they can go to court and get a judge to sign but for most "elective" stuff they will want the parents to sign) so having mom "on board" with the treatment might make it easier for you in the long run.
Some of the other questions don't seem all the odd to me. Lots of people have NO grasp on child development and lots of kids do walk by 11 months and some people might really not know why they need to sedate a kid. So, I think I'd have to cut her some slack on those questions.
I don't think you have an obligation to communicate in writing to the mom. You can just stop sending notes and you can always tell her you need to ask the CW for some of the answers.
good luck!
