Oh boy--
Okay, so this is really less about breastfeeding rights to me, inasmuch as it's far MORE about two people who shouldn't have had a baby together, period.
Breastfeeding for as long as it works for both mother and child is *ideal*. That said, so is having two mature adult parents who are committed to each other *before* making a baby.
Thus, their situation is LESS than ideal due to the fact that these two young people decided to put themselves first and make a baby without actually being a responsible, functioning couple.
But the other reason I am less sympathetic on this is because we aren't discussing another problem (because we are only dealing with ideals) -- what would the mom do if SHE couldn't nurse due to a medical issue? What if she needed a medication which precluded breastfeeding? Would she not take the medication? Would she not use formula-- at least, try to? As a breastfeeding mom myself(when Kiddo was wee little---not now!) I always knew that I needed to have a back-up plan in cases like these. I always accepted that there might be a time I'd have to rely on formula and that feeding it to my son wouldn't make me any less of a loving mom. A loving mom will make sure that she can do the best she *can* (period) for her kid.
And what about Jasmine's right to have two parents in her life? She's a baby, but it's her right to know her daddy as early as possible. It's important that her father be able to participate in caring for the little girl...whether or not mom can pump. I've seen many babies take sippy cups of water or formula at this age.
My guess is that the judge didn't say so much "stop nursing" but more of 'if breastfeeding is the issue you are holding up to block visitation, I'm taking that reason away from you'. I don't know this young mom, she's probably a very nice kid, but she does seem very immature in some ways, including having a baby with someone whom she thinks so little of that she's more or less fighting about visitation. Not saying the dad's perfect here, either. The only blameless one is the baby. :( Pretty sad.
