Breast is not best for judge

What if you or someone you love was forced to stop breastfeeding so that the child’s dad can have visitation? That’s what happened to Jessica Moser. A judge told her to stop breastfeeding her ten-month-old daughter in order for the baby to spend overnights with dad. In an interview with a local TV station Moser expressed her frustration that she was ordered to stop nursing or risk losing custody of her daughter. “I’m feeling frustrated, hurt,” Moser said. “I’m trying to keep myself from crying, it’s very emotional.” She also added that her daughter, Jasmine, refuses the bottle which leaves breastfeeding as the only other option. This is not cool. What if that baby was my niece (pictured)? My advice to Moser would be to keep breastfeeding anyway despite such a stupid court order. The baby should not be punished for the father's and the judge's flawed decision making. Now there is no question that Jasmine’s father should have visitation rights. However when it comes to breastfeeding, there should be no debating the issue. Even though she is old enough to consume solid foods, breast milk is still the best form of nutrition for any child her age. I'm sure one late-night cry fest with Daddy will be all that it takes for him to change his tune.
