This could be Karl Heilbronner. However, while he did write about adult psychopathology, i couldn’t find any link to child psychopathology, and no exact quote.

Stryges were mythical demons, either birds of ill omen or women transforming into birds/withc, who fed on blood or human flesh. In medieval northern Italy, striges are especially mentionned in two demonology treaties, Lamiarum sive striarum opusculum by Girolamo Visconti, and Tractatus de strigiis by Bernard Rategno. While mainly described as vampires of sort, it seems that in the middle ages, the word stryx/striges was associated with poisoning, especially children, through milk or food, and especially in the night.
