Ftm. My little girl will be a month tomorrow. Breastfeeding has been a little rough because of my inverted nipple. But we kept at it and now got a hang of it finally. Breastfeeding was super important to me. But I was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and I am being told I have to stop breastfeeding in order to start treatment. I am SUPER sad about this!!! I wanted her to have all the benefits of breast milk and I really enjoyed the special bond we have. I have thought about delaying treatment but my family is not having that. My question is how do I keep that special bond I have with her while bottle feeding formula???

I know what you mean @edomke I don't let my little girl cry either. I am always either holding her in my arms or in my Moby wrap. She won't sleep in her bassinet so she sleeps in my arms every night. Everyone tells me to let her cry it out in her bed but I just can't do it.
No problem (: honestly I have an awesome bond with my son and I think it's because I rock him to sleep don't let him really cry and just always plays and talks to him. A lot of people think I need to "relax" and let him cry more and put himself to sleep but I disagree with the cry it out method and honestly I fully believe that's why we have such a great bond 😊
Skin to skin is a good idea. Thanks!!! @edomke
I bottle feed. I think bonding just comes naturally no matter which feeding method you use.
Honestly you will still bond with her regardless. Don't worry momma. Do skin to skin too. Not sure how old she is though
I'm pretty sure you can still bond with her while bottle feeding
I don't believe in it. I feel as though letting your child cry it out is breaking a trust between the two of you. Others would disagree and say they are manipulating you
