Hi everyone, my baby girl is 7 months old and she is strictly on breastmilk. She has started on solides (baby cerals/veggies/fruits), what her peditrician has said. However she doesn't know like formula. She likes the real stuff. (breastmilk) She will not take a bottle as well. Point being is, we are in the court process of child custody & visitation. Overnight stays are not feesible with the father, due to breastfeeding. I am not going to give my daughter she doesn't want and not going to make a fast transition if she isn't ready. She'll be ready when she is ready. Generally, can the courts rule that she is with him for a certain amount of time due to breastfeeding.
***I do know a friend of mine who got her baby's father to only spend 2 hrs with his son because he was being breastfeed.***THIS IS ALL IN CALIFORNIA***

The baby is first and foremost the most important thing for the courts to consider. I'm pretty sure they can not force you to stop breastfedding your daughter so she can spend the weekend with her father or make you give her a bottle if you dont want to. They should be accomadating. My friend went through the same thing. Her ex was given visitation at her home. He would go for walks with her maybe a short outing. But they were friendly so the ex agreed to whatever was best for the baby. Im not 100% sure how it would go it the father contests.

Im order for your child to spend time with her father you SHOULD express milk for him to feed her with a bottle. She gets what she needs nutritionally as well as emotionally because she will be able to spend time with her father.
