And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

Ok, I go on walks with my kids, I read/tell them stories, I play hide and seek, I give them baths, I build block towers and knock them over ...
I also cuddle in my rocking chair with them almost daily. I ride bikes with them. I swim with them. I spend hours looking for the "King with a sling" in the frustrating I Spy puzzle. I do a bazillion other things along the lines of what your dh does with your kids.
But, I did use a bottle with ds.
OMG ... does that mean all of a sudden all my bonding activities are for naught? GASP!
You are so full of bull hockey ...
If your dh can have a secure, attached bond with your dd without ever having had her suck on his nipple, then why pray tell, can no one else?

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
Well I would LOL, my dd bf for well over 3 years. Btw, she's now 7 so that's at least half her life overall (so far of course)!
"Actually it's a very small percentage of time and again?"
Again, it depends on how long a child bf's as to whether it's a very samll percentage of time.
"why does one need a breast in the mouth? Why could not one bond and form an attachment by using a bottle in the same physical hold and manner one would b-feed?"
They can still bond, a bottle simply adds an *artificial* element that clearly isn't a necessary component to bonding. However, aside from bonding aspects, there are *nutritional* as well as *developmental* aspects to consider. For instance, valuable nutrients are lost in the expressing/pumping/storing/freezing process. Also, a bottle doesn't promote proper oral and jaw development.
very well said. thanks for saving me the time.
