I have read this entire thread and fire I hate to say it but I agree with Whatusay. I agree with everything you have posted except the part whatusay disagrees with. My children were both bottle fed and I loved, touched , sang to and held just as much as a breastfed baby. I talked to my sister about this, she is a registered nurse with a masters degree and is and has been a nursery nurse at St. Johns for many years. Your ."Babies who are breast fed are touched, looked at and talked to so much more than a bottle feed baby". is a bunch of b.s. Yes there are advantages to breast feeding but it's a personal choice. My kids were not touched or looked at any less because they were bottle fed.
