A mother whose breastfeeding is preventing a toddler’s father from spending time with his child has two choices, a Canadian judge has ruled.

Jennifer Johne, 35, can either wean the nearly 3-year-old child or use a machine to pump breast milk for the girl’s father, Carl Cavannah, 42, to feed her during his visitation time, reports the Globe and Mail.

Johne had balked at a request to provide a schedule of when she expected to stop breastfeeding, noted Ontario Superior Court Justice Alan Ingram in his written opinion.
