IMO, babies are smart enough to know where the milk is coming from.
I tell parents that when taking a bottle, baby will focus on the
container regardless of whe is behind it.  So in giving a bottle,
baby will "bond" with the bottle, but not necessarily with the
bottle holder.  With bathing and/or massaging, baby will bond with
the person doing it and are therefore much better actions to take to
bond with baby.  Bathing baby can be Dad's "hands on" time with baby
and feeding is Mom's "hands on" time.
