I know it may be hard for many here to imagine, but some do consider giving
a bottle a loving experience.  It's so culturally ingrained I think some
*are* taken aback at the idea of never ever getting to give their child a
bottle, and feel a sense of loss.

My own husband was a bit skeptical of not being allowed to give bottles for
fun to our second, after enjoying many bottlefeedings with our
first.  However, after some grumbling, he got over it and now has no idea
why it was such a big deal.

The idea of never using a bottle being impossible is so ingrained in
western culture I don't think most people will agree at the outset never to
use one -they simply can't envision it.
