BF v FF shame and “attachment theory”

[leosfernandis]

@pastorchrisparker I find it easier to bond and attach to my baby with bottle feeding. With breastfeeding, I was so consumed by latch, whether he was getting enough, etc. that I couldn’t just enjoy feeding my baby and meeting his needs. Now that we’re bottle feeding I enjoy him so much more since there’s less stress and anxiety associated with each feed.

@leosfernandis I’ve been watching and listening to so many breast feeding stories and tbh (and this is my option) it kind of sounds like a lot of pressure for the mom, or awful for what I would want at least. I think mentally I just wouldn’t handle the pumping and the latching and the burden of it and would just feel so much more relaxed if I knew from the jump I was EFF.
