Marie:  Your comments unfortunately reflect an increasingly common
phenomenon.  I believe that the idea that father can only bond with his
baby if he feeds it a bottle is promoted subtly (and not-so-subtly) by
many formula companies.  Just look at some of their pamphlets and notice
the number of pictures of beaming dads with babes and bottles in hand.
Then try (hard) to find any pictures of beaming dads with their
breastfeeding mom and baby pairs.  Alicia.  [log in to unmask]
