It would have been very interesting to see what decision would have been made if the judge was a female who had breastfed a toddler. Not all toddlers are easy to wean. It can also be an incredibly difficult time for the Mum, I know that when my daughter decided to wean herself, it took me months to accept it. If this mum is "off balance psychologically" this could really throw her. Val in Busselton, Western Australia RN RM IBCLC
