I am not attempting to address your specific problem but just the more
general that I hear this said about nursing babies in front of other kids. And
even moms who feel they shouldn't nurse in front of their own kids. So I changed
your post--- would we ever hear this!?! :-)
Bottle feeding mom is a childcare provider to toddlers. She was told by the
counselor to one of the children's siblings that bottle feeding in front of
the children is traumatizing them and causing them grief because they are
young and experiencing their first separation from their mothers. One of
the children has recently begun bottle feeding (because of her experience of
watching the care giver bottle feed) and the others have varied histories of
being
bottle fed, (some have either asked to bottle feed again or are bottle feed
their dolls)
some quite briefly, all with some bottle time. One child is adopted from
abroad and spent a year in an orphanage and does have attachment issues
which the family is actively addressing. I have never looked at this from
such a perspective. Any ideas?
