Wendy asked about a situation with a nursing 2 year old and visitation
issues.

A helpful resource on this issue can be found on the a Leche League web site
in the writings of the late Liz Baldwin, a lawyer who specialized in
breastfeeding issues.

Go to http://www.lalecheleague.org/LawMain.html

Scroll down to "Breastfeeding and Family Law" and also to "Extended
Breastfeeding."

You will find some good articles there.  Liz worked with many families in
situations such as you describe, and has some very wise and helpful
suggestions for dealing with the courts in these situations.

Other books you might like to get are "How Weaning Happens" by Diane Bengson
and "Mothering Your Nursing Toddler" by Norma Jane Bumgarner, also available
through La Leche League.
