I found this on the misc.kids.breastfeeding newsgroup. It's from an article
which appears to be dated 1992:

>>>The Perrigo case is not the only one where extended nursing has been
    used against a mother in court.  Dr. Niles Newton, a behavioral
    sciences professor at Northwestern University, said she was contacted a
    year ago by a woman who lost custody of her breast-feeding toddler in a
    divorce case.

    "They felt she was not a good mother because she nursed so long," Newton
    said.  "My response to that is, she was an especially good mother
    exactly because she nursed so long."<<<

Still feels like 1992, doesn't it?
