Judge Orders Mama to Change Breastfeeding Schedule
In a hot custody battle, every little action is scrutinized. Or in this case, every big action: the act of breastfeeding.
In Toronto, a Canadian judge ordered the mother of a 29-month-old girl to adjust her breastfeeding schedule or begin pumping so her biological father could spend time with the girl. The girl is now 34 months old.
The woman, Jennifer Johne, had allegedly been limiting time for her daughter to spend with dad, Carl Cavannah, because the girl was still breastfeeding.
But Justice Alan Ingram said that must change. The law says that mothers and fathers are equally entitled to custody of a child.
