I have also come across dads adamant about giving bottles-something I always
suggest and it always(almost) works is a few sessions of skin to skin for
dad and baby once a day or more.
Dads that are a bit skeptical are quickly impressed when they hear how this
actually nurtures their baby - and is alot more than just fun.One dad -while
I was still at the consult stripped his shirt off,undressed the baby and
proceeded to sit on the couch,holding baby close-with this foolish
infatuated kind of smile on his face!He couldnt believe how good it felt
Most dads , I find then become more supportive of the moms breastfeeding
needs(and the baby's....)
good luck!
