breastfeeding to allow overnight visits with father?" />

So my son's father was gone since he's been born . He never helped with ANYTHING . I work from home so I have been exclusively breastfeeding. Now his father pops back up out of now where . I told him if he wants to be a father i will allow him I would never get in the way of that. So now he has a girlfriend who does not want him having any contact with me period. Now he is trying to take me to court saying the breastfeeding is not fair because it is getting in the way of their bonding time he wants to be able to keep him longer hours . I tried switching my son to a bottle and cups but he refuses . He will cry for hours until I give him my breast . It's not fair why should my son have to suffer because his dad cheated and left the family. I'm hearing a judge can order me to stop breastfeeding and force my son on a bottle . . He is only 6 months 😓My question is do you think a mother should be forced to stop breastfeeding so the child can spend more time alone with the father ?
