To think a judge should not be able to stop a mother from breast feeding?

If this is true I think this judge has been wholly out of order. What about this child's rights? And any father worth their salt would not demand this.

I have lovely memories of breastfeeding my toddler.

He didn't 'hang' off my breast. BTW. Using that sort of language is as offensive as describing ff as 'shoving a bottle in a baby's mouth'.

Mine stopped night feeds fairly quickly choosing water over milk as they were thirsty not hungry.

Maybe that's why my views are different

The judge has been fair.

Be realistic, would you want a toddler hanging off your breast. what kind of question is that?

I know that at 10 months my child would have been absolutely distraught to spend a night away from me. Breastfeeding was her comfort and she fed all night, maybe the child is still night feeding and needs the comfort. I wouldnt deny the child a relationship with her father but I think overnight stays while still feeding may be unfair to the child.

I don't understand why the baby has to do overnight stays?

Probably because he's a hands on dad and wants to parent as equally as he can in the circumstances.

There is nothing wrong with a 10 month old spending a night or two away from its mother to be with its father (or any relative for that matter)

I'm just interested in what the 'thick formula' was that mylovelyboys Ds needed 'to fill him up'.

Mine stopped night feeds fairly quickly choosing water over milk as they were thirsty only one of my older children barely ever fed at night ever even when bf. however that was her not every child born on the earth her sister night fed for a lot longer and her brother a lot longer again. If Mumsnet has taught you anything is it not that all children are different.

Hungry baby milk possibly?

Hope to god it's not milk thickened with baby rice or rusk!!

Loving the selective quote

Can you go back and fill in the rest of my post please and not just choose the bits you feel like using

mylovelyboy my toddler "hung off my breast" until she was two and I was quite happy with that.

I dont know why the baby has to do overnight stays either. I would not be happy with that. As for hanging off the breast. Well one minute its playing on the floor with toys and running around and the next its on your breast. A big giant baby suckling on your boob. Im sorry I think a toddler bf is awful and not necessary. Its not right. I dont think many people do this really to be honest. Its all about the mothers needs.

Doctory I wonder if people were talking about you

YANBU. Mother's milk should damn well be the baby's right.

I hope to feed my son till he talks about it himself lovely, that good enough for you?

Sorry is that some Mumsnet protocol I am unaware of Normal. I think that quote is a fair reflection of your posts overall.

It doesn't even matter whether or not other people have breastfed, or how long for. Nor does it matter if others would have been happy for their ten month old baby to have been away for them overnight. In this case, the mother has established successful breastfeeding, and the baby is reliant on it as she won't take a bottle. If the judge has remarked that the baby should be able to have formula now, despite being advised that it can't then he is not judging this case on it's individual circumstances and that is worrying.

Mini it was Aptamil. I was bf ds every half an hour. I dont think my breast milk was enough for him. Hence went onto formula and was like a different baby. Fed every four hours and went through the night at three months old.

mylovelyboy is it normal for you to talk out of your arse to this extent, or do you need to see a Dr?

Mylovelyboy apart from the fact that you are talking shit, why are your ignorant opinions of bf toddlers relevant? This baby is ten months old.

Fucking hell some disgusting comments on here from people who clearly dotn have a clue about bfeeding!

The father could still have a good relationship with his baby with out a overnight contact or prematurely ending their bfeeding relationship with their mother.

There are actually guidliens and laws about this and this judges rulign would be unlawful in many countries amd indeed in many states in America.

pink I certainly hope you dont. Might find a family member or one of your friends phones ss

BF baby feeds every half an hour at two weeks old? That actually is normal. Totally and completely normal.

Side note, I do not really care how you feed your baby, as long as it is fed. I do think this dad has just as much right to spend time with and raise his own child, as the mother. It sounds like the pair of them have been unable to come to a decent arrangement and there is no info on why, so not point speculating. The pair of them are in for a very long road if things are this difficult already.
