The judge ordered 50/50 custody for a 3 week old baby

Forget your anon? Hmm.

Nope just commenting. 50/50 for a 3 week old baby is not the norm

How would you know she wasn’t expecting it? Do either of them work? Unless they are both home full time someone else is watching the baby.

If she was expecting it she wouldnt have been shocked
"She was shocked"

How would I know if they work?

[PinkMartini]

She was not expecting it because it is not the norm for a baby at that age

Why would it not be?

Do you live under a rock? Do you honestly think it is the norm for custody to be 50/50 from just after birth?

It isnt good for a baby to be passed around like a hot potato

Under this rock judges give parents 50/50 custody, unless there is a reason not to. The baby being three weeks old would not be a reason

It's not ideal, but he's equally the babies parent. Imagine if your daughter was told she could only see her baby on weekends. It's only fair.

The only thing that matters is what's fair for the baby. Babies need consistency and security instead of being bounced back and forth between homes and parents.

The baby will be fine. They are going every other week between two people, not a new person everyday. Lots of babies go to daycare and go between the center and their home and are all fine.

Most babies who go to daycare go home to the same home and parent each day. Babies deserve that security. With the scenario OP described, the daycare workers will be the most constant figures in the baby's life. That's not right.

Can your daughter pump and give the dad some breast milk for his week?

I can understand why she's feeling the way she's feeling.

They do both work but DD is on maternity leave right now

They should work out between themselves time to spend with the baby during the other parent's week. If they can do that, this sounds like the best custody arrangement for all three of them.

It is odd because we’ve come a long way to ensure that women can breast feed if they choose. That’s too bad

Sorry, but just because mom makes the choice to breastfeed, does not mean that dad doesn't get equal time. If they are both good parents, they can figure it out. If he was the one cheating she doesn't get to punish him with time with his child. If she was the one who cheated she doesn't get to punish him with time with his child.
