I know some of you out there have done both. Do you love the breastfed baby more? Do you have telekenesis with the breast fed kid, and the formula fed one is so detached from you that he must fill out a requisition form just to tell you he is ill?
Please tell me your experiences.

Pemi...yes I did. However, that was pumping. I figure the bottlefeeding aspect diminishes any benefits. j/k
The fact that one child received over a year of pumped breastmilk while one only got five months worth is a nil issue to me. I love both my kids the same. I'm not suffering by breast milk induced psychosis that I am somehow superior to other parents who used straight formula.

Nope, you love them the same. I have 3 children. I bottle fed 2 and breast fed one. We are all very close. I think it just depends on the child and the parent...

Get a grip. The only difference between the two babies will be that the breastfed one will have a better developed immune system due to the antibodies in the breast milk that it received. However, if you bottle the breast milk and that is what you are feeding the other baby instead of formula, then there will be no difference. All that other touchy-feely psychic-power crap is just that-crap.

Telekinesis is the ability to move objects through thought. I think you meant telepathy which is thoughts connected to others thoughts, or thinking of someone when they are thinking about you, having the same thoughts like someone else.
I think you really meant will you bond with each baby or will you be closer to one than the other?
Feeding a baby whether by breast or bottle can be exactly the same as regards the bonding experience. Take this time to interact with your child, look at the baby as you feed him/her, talk to him, cuddle closely, make it a one on one time with her. I wouldn't let anything distract you from the feeding time with baby. I wouldn't even watch the TV or read a book. Concentrate completely on baby. He will feel your closeness and love.

I love all my children the same My first one I breastfed and the second I couldn't, because he has a hereditary disease to where he can only have soy. I think he is actually more clingy then the older on but that might just be the age. Either way they are treated no different.

I had two sons, year apart, and fed the first with bottle and the second with breast. I would say that it was different. But I think it depends on you reasons. If you didn't like the dependency of breastfeeding, then you may dislike that child. Or be angry with the one that you didn't get to breastfeed. I had to take medication which stopped my milk. But I like my second because he is the baby, bot because he breastfed. I hated it!

The Mother would love both children equally. Wives love
their husbands and there's not even any blood relatiion.
Couples that adopt babies and children sometimes love
those children even more than some parents do their own
children. Breast feeding has nothing to do with it.

You love all your kids different no matter what for the simple fact that they are all different. They have their own personalities. I did both and I don't love one more than the other but i love them all different. None less and none more. Breast just helps you to bond with them more while they're young and it's the best thing for them them to.

No it will not make one bit of difference. It's not like they remember lol.
I bottle fed our daughter for almost 14 months. She is very advanced for her age. She is not 2.5 and can could to 13, knows her alphabet. Dress herself for the most part.
