I'm bottle feeding a new addition at the moment and it is very frustrating 
to me that I cannot stroke her face while giving her her bottle....I hate 
it- it's not a case of not wanting to do it but not being able to. A 
definite phsyical barrier to interaction that I did not appreciate 
previously.
