Does anyone who has both exclusively breastfeed and also exclusively bottle fed noticed a difference in bonding with baby. I don't produce enough to breastfeed only. In fact she gets mostly formula. Breastfeeding is very frustrating for both of us but I haven't given it up. I sometimes pump instead to avoid the frustration. My worry is that because if it she won't form a special bond with me. I don't seem to have an ability to calm her down any better than daddy and she doesn't seem to find any more comfort in me holding her than anyone else. She's not quite 3 weeks old yet so maybe I am worrying too much but I have to go back to work in 3 more weeks and I want her to have a unique bond with me. She is my first baby...

I feel the same like she actually interacts with him and with me she just sleeps or feeds, I hope that changes but my fear is that once she starts day care it'll get worse.
I wouldn't worry too much. My son has always been obsessed with me lol I've done both breast and now he is on just formula because my supply dried up before he was 2 months old. There's been no difference for me involving how he has been fed. My son did go through a couple weeks of wanting nothing to do with anyone, but before that point and after that point he's been obsessed lol
My newborn when he was a newborn favored his dad at first. He's a year old now and he's all about mommy. I formula fed him because my diet wasn't right for his tummy. Also the more boob she has the more milk you'll make.
That could be, she has a temper and is very impatient. She has the genes for it lol
My son both breast and bottle fed, I went back to work when he was 3 days old so he bottle fed more often than breast. We still had a very close bond, I never noticed a difference in the way he looked up at me During either type of feeding.
Thank you ♡ that's very comforting to hear
