I thought the same thing regarding the 3 yo having longer visits with father. A "healthy" father/child relationship would not be restricted in that way. However, having personal experience with a family situation where the father was sexually abusing, I can only imagine that there is some reason why mother would not want child to visit with father. I don't think breastfeeding would be seen by the courts as a reason to keep them apart at that age.
