I am a dad of 2 boys, and a foster parent of one baby girl (6 months, whom we have had since she was 1 month). Both of my boys were breastfeed for at least the first year of their lives. I have always supported my wife on this, and defended breastfeeding in general.
Here is the issue, my boys when they were babies really wanted nothing to do with me, lol. Well actually I was good for a few laughs, when they were in good moods, but I was not suitable to meet there needs. Meaning they enjoyed our play time, but if they got hurt, were hungry, or needed a change they preferred mommy. Everyone told me it's just a stage, and they will grow out of it, which they did, my oldest is 7 and is always wanting to be around me :)
Well when my daughter came along, naturally her being a foster child, we needed to use formula. I have done countless hours of feeding her. I must say, personally I have NEVER felt so much love from a baby! I mean she really knows me, and loves me.
