Mom is inventing problems to try to get back with dad.  [/quote]
Yeah, the "every hour" thing is nuts.  Babies that age are starting solids - they certainly don't need to nurse every hour.  That's probably one reason the judge found that she was "weaponizing breastfeeding."  [/quote]

The baby is probably hungry because mom's breast milk is not filling enough and the baby should be transitioning to solids. Doesn't sound like the breast milk is enough. But mom is one of those wackos who only wants to EBF for a solid year, for her own needs, not what the child needs. Spending more time with dad will probably benefit the baby.[/quote]

You do not know anything about breastmilk. Kids do not need solid food until 12 months. Solids at 6 months is for fun. Guidance from pediatricians.[/quote]

This is outdated [/quote]

No, it is not. I have young kids.[/quote]

You are still wrong. And you obviously don't have a baby and are not up to date. This is the actual current guidance:

"The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for approximately 6 months after birth. Furthermore, the AAP supports continued breastfeeding, along with appropriate complementary foods introduced at about 6 months"

It does not say exclusively breast feed for 12 months.[/quote]

Do you know what “complementary” means? A child at that age isn’t getting most of their nutrition from those foods— they are adding to the primary source of nutrition which is breast milk.  Messing with moms supply, a court ordering her to feed her child bottles, none of this is in the best interest of the child. The kid can wean at 1, and have all the regular food dad wants to use, but he wants to save 4 months of child support. [/quote]

Do you know that "fun" isn't a synonym for "complementary"? Take a seat.[/quote]

…you are the only one referencing that outdated guidance. [/quote]

Show us your current guidance. I'll wait. [/quote]

Bro it’s the same guidance. Food after six months is **complementary** meaning **additive**.

The kid needs to get breast milk AND solids at this stage, but cannot get only solids. Dad could slow his roll for four months, have visitation at the baby’s home, and have zero impact on the baby’s mother. He could then give the baby 100% purée. Instead he wants to pay less support.

He’s just a bad dad. I’m sorry you’ve chosen him as the champion of fatherhood. [/quote]

Oh.... so you're pretending you didn't say "no solid until 12 months". You were wrong and tried to backpedal. That is not current guidance. And don't try to pretend someone els said it.[/quote]

I am a different PP. two pediatricians literally told me that kids do not need solid food until 12 months old and that breastmilk or formula is fine and that starting feeding solids at six months is fine but it is to supplement breastmilk and formula and it is optional: salads at six months is fun and not required. My kids did not eat solid foods until eight months old because they couldn’t stand eating it.[/quote]

Bizarre as we never heard they don't need to start solids before age one.  You should not be giving your child salad at 6 months old.  [/quote]

It was a typo. “Solid”…two pediatricians told me solid food is fun at 6 months. Necessary at 12 months. I am glad I did not shove a ton of solids in my kid’s mouths just because…too much too soon increases risk of diabetes and obesity. Solids at 6 months is complementary. Most calories should be formula or breastmilk until 12 months. My kids are in elementary…not outdated. [/quote]

Nothing wrong with baby food at 6 months.  Be real.

How would you feel if you were denied having a relationship with your kids? [/quote]

Are you stupid? You can introduce solid at 6 months press, more milk or formula should remain the primary source of calories in till 12 months in and then it switches and this is documented everywhere.

A dad who left his newborn doesn’t deserve to dictate terms of feeding. [/quote]

Oh well. You don’t get a vote. Hopefully the baby finally gets fed appropriately.[/quote]
