I got a call from a mother who's in a custody battle over a 16 month old
baby.  She breastfeeds the baby when she's home and the baby gets formula
at daycare.  Baby has lots of allergies and she intends to continue
breastfeeding for a while. The ex has tried to say that she is no longer
breastfeeding (even though she presented a video tape of herself
breastfeeding) and that she should not be breastfeeding a baby at this age.
 The husband's attorney referred to "The Breastfeeding Scam."  The mother
didn't have any idea what they were talking about and I didn't know either.
 Have I missed something in the news or what?
