Once again I am responding 10 days after the posting. Really I'm trying to
catch up. I agree with everything about Dads giving bottles. If parents want
Dad to bond with the baby, he should do something intimate like hold the baby
on his chest skin to skin. He could even let the baby suck on HIS nipple, but
probably he's not THAT interested in bonding. Holding a plastic object filled
with either kind of milk in the baby's mouth is not equivalent to the
breast-feeding experience.
