[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s the reality of divorce. If breastmilk is important mom can pump and give it to dad. I don’t see the outrage about this.  Dads time with baby is more important than breastmilk. [/quote]

Except not all women produce enough with pumping.  I could EBF my child on the weekends but could never pump enough so had to supplement several bottles for daycare. I just don't produce for a pump.   In addition separation at nights would have likely tanked my supply.  Sure give dad extra time to make up for the time mom spends breastfeeding the child during his time.  I'm sure there are other solutions to this if dad were willing to be flexible.  [/quote]

So, then if she cannot or will not pump, he can use formula.  Mom spends the majority of the visit BF if she is feeding the child every hour.  It is not ok to feed a 6 month old every hour.  That is not healthy which is why the judge said child needs a schedule.  Mom can pump on separated nights and save it for Dad. [/quote]
