I'm glad some people think you can bond just as well if you don't breastfeed. I nursed both my kids and loved it. My daughter has been bottle feeding her baby (the one with a heart problem) for 3 months, with her own breast milk, but now that she's allowed to nurse him, he refuses. That makes me sad to think they aren't going to have that special bonding. But I'm sure many bottle fed babies, as adults, are perfectly fine emotionally, and many breast fed babies are not. I agree with kitten: it's about love and nurturing and acceptance, not breast vs bottle.
