>To the more important question - can the court order a mother to wean
- the answer is "yes" and it is not an uncommon occurrence in U.S.
family courts.  The court in a custody case can make any decision
based on its assessment of what is in the best interests of the child.
<

When this happens, does the court usually tell the mother HOW to wean?
For example, do they say, *Stop breastfeeding completely effective
immediately, * or do they say to wean by a certain date and if so, how
long is a typical weaning period?
I guess what I am asking is, does the court usually/ever understand
the weaning process which takes into account the best interests of the
child?

norma, who is not sure that she really wants to know the answer :(
