Lots of information on the La Leche League International website about legal
issues, I believe, although I'm not sure if it is password protected.  Let
me know if you can't get in and I'll see if I can find it for you.

The gist is - don't make it about breastfeeding, rather focus on the child's
need for her mother and appropriate, age-based visits.  Clearly this baby is
not doing well away from her mom, poor thing.

Subject: shared custody of nursing toddler

If any of you has experience in writing a successful letter in support of a
mother keeping overnight custody of her nursing toddler (18 months in this
case), please let me know.   I have a mother in my practice who's recent
divorce means that the father gets the baby three days/nights in a row
before mom gets her back.  This poor duo is emotionally exhausted, and the
toddler is clinging and nursing non-stop on the day mom gets her back for
security.   
 
Thank you,
