can a father ask for partial custody of a breastfed baby?

My daughter and I live in 6hrs away from her father. He has never wanted anything to do with his daughter so when I told him I filed for child support, he threatened to take me to court for partial custody. I have never denied him visitation or denied him of being in his daughter’s life… He chose to do so. My child is currently breast feeding & I’m worried that if he is rewarded partial custody my child will no longer be able to nurse which is the best for her. I am also worried about the safety of my child because while I was pregnant his now girlfriend wished death on my then unborn child and I wouldn’t trust her around my child. He also has all male roommates & I am uncomfortable with the idea of her being around men & she’s a girl. He also uses illegal substances I.e marijuana & ecstasy which I believe can lead to him having impaired judgment with her around. Please help!
