What, to keep the mother’s milk flowing when the kid is gone?

I’m currently exclusively pumping for my daughter so I’m aware of this. Fortunately I’m an overproducer and have a freezer drawer full of frozen milk. However, since she is specifically nursing, how does she start the process? If she pumps between feedings it will take a while to increase her supply. There are no breast milk substitutes, and the father is being a douche for denying his daughter proper nutrition.

Wrong? Its wrong for a father to want to see his child?

No, what’s wrong here is a whiny little itch of a mother doing harm to her child by her stupid antics.

I hope the father wins custody here. Someone responsible needs to raise the poor child.

The kind that loves his child and has a right to visitation.

But of course we forget one thing

FATHERS HAVE NO RIGHTS.

The “stupid antics” of properly feeding her child?

You are insane.

One who loves it. Fathers should get as much time with children as mummy. Today especially.

The way to do that is to keep the family together.

My wife breast fed all 3 of our kids and also pumped between feedings. Our freezer was full of milk. It is no big deal. I could bottle feed the babies with thawed breast milk. We did this with each kid after the 6-month mark. The mom could easily comply.

This is NOT about breastfeeding. This is a bitch gaming the system. She is manipulating and controlling herself, her body, her child, the courts and especially the father as she uses whatever gimmicks she can to alienate the child from her father. Did you read where the child is 10 months old?

MILLIONS of children at that age do better than fine without breastmilk. Please. Overcome your emotions and look at the ugly reality here.

We know that all kids need their mother’s milk to develop properly.

All other issues need to yield to that inescapable fact.

Common belief, but not 100% true. Fathers have the right to shovel thousands and thousands of dollars worth of income to vengeful broads who cut them off from their kids anyway. Taking it right out of the paycheck is standard procedure now. If the paycheck isn't big enough, no problem the court will carry the balance so she can sue the carp out of the guy after the kid turns 18. No court costs and interest added.

after baby is done eating, she should pump immediately...getting as much as she can even if only an ounce or two. Each time she feeds she should continue to do this adding to each little amount until she starts producing more at every feeding. It is a workable option, it will just take a little bit of time to get enough for his first weekend.

There was no rationale for the judge to order her to stop the feedings, since he could have ordered her to provide her milk for visits.

So then the visits would become contingent on whether or not she was able to lactate a sufficient amount for the upcoming visit.

And then her lawyer would begin negotiations about how much milk was necessary etc.

No, the judge was cutting through a ground for further excuses.

The judge has probably seen a few of these cases before.

That is absolutely false. Even goat’s milk can create problems.
