A Way to Make Bottle Feeding Better for Bonding

pfallerj by pfallerj Proud Parent(May 2006) (rank 99th)

Today's Tip - If you're bottle feeding, hold his head with different arms so he sees both sides of your face

While this won't apply if you're breastfeeding, its important for the bonding experience of feeding if your baby gets to see your face from two different angles. Most people

have a tendency to favor one arm over the other when bottle feeding, but if you switch him off every time you break to burp him, you'll be doing well.

Good tip
I have noticed with younger women out and about they will prop the bottle up and not hold bub at all unless for show bonding is so important and mimicking the way wome breast feed is a clever idea good tip and everyone ejoy your bub :)

bottle bonding
great idea, my husband love the abiity to feed codi from time to time and also let me express and then have some sleep. Also when bottle feeding as well as breastfeeding, when bottle feeding codi would start into my eyes for the whole time feeding him with the bottle, a real buzz!! great tip!
