PTP - Michigan - Oakland County - Baby boy is 18 mos old, nursing in am and at bedtime, periodically wakes and nurses back to sleep.  Mom is pg w/ #2 and parents are divorcing.  Dad wants overnight visitation.  If boy were not nursing, mom would have no objection to overnight visitation - no abuse issues or concerns with Dad's parenting.  Mom has been told to obtain a letter from a doctor saying continuing to nurse her 18 month old is in his best interest, however, Mom has been unsuccessful in finding a doctor willing to write such a letter - verbally the docs agree with her, however their policy is to not submit anything to the courts in custody cases.  :o(

Any suggestions?  Court date is next Wed, 1/16.

Thanks!
