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?
