[quote]WHile I agree that there are other ways to sooth a baby that is crying, it appears that 99% of the time, when the child is with Mom, when he cries, he gets fed. So Mom has created the "cause/effect" in the child that suckling a breast is comforting when in a strange or different environment...then tells Dad, "Good luck, YOU can't do that..." And THAT is WRONG. [/quote]
Babies nurse for reasons other than hunger. And how much they get is determined by the strength of their suck. And there is nothing wrong with that. Just like with bottles, pacifiers, daipers, and thumbsucking, they will outgrow it.
The father will have to learn his own way, without forcing something on the baby that the baby is clearly rejecting. And that is something that parenting classes could help with for parents who don't have much experience with infants. However; if this is a newborn, well, all they do is eat, sleep and poop so it's not surprising that he is having a hard time. It's a shame that he and the mother can't get along. It would be easier on the baby to have the visits in a familiar place and with the food source nearby.
