Breastfeeding is important not only for fulfilling one of an infant’s physical needs, but is vitally more important for fulfilling an infant’s emotional and psychological needs and development.
Because the current Shared Care arrangements completely ignore or disregard children’s needs in this manner, it is creating a generation of children who are unable to create and maintain emotional attachments, and are disaffected and anomic from personal and social relationships. i.e. environmental psychopaths, as was shown in post-Freudian research over 50 years ago.
I am quite sure that in 30 years time, the then Australian government will be apologising to those children, as it has done to the Stolen Generation and the Forced Adoption Generation of children, for the irresponsible harm the 2006 Family Law and its interpretation in the Courts, are doing to this generation.
As I have said, 50/50 is not a starting point from a child’s perspective, they don’t need or want to be `shared up’ or divided in that manner and it violates the respect they have a right to expect, from their parents and from legal arenas.
