A question for the boys in regards to exclusively breastfeeding:

• Do you feel that you missed out on anything because you didn't have the opportunity to feed your baby?
• Did it take you longer to feel a bond with your child?
• Do you feel you missed out?
• Were you upset with your wife/partner for choosing to exclusively breastfeed?
• If yes, why?
• Did you feel left out of the equation?
• Or was there ample opportunity to bond?
• Did you take part in other apsects such as carrying, changing, bathing, napping, walking, playing, etc, with your child?
• Did you find this time with your baby helped with your bonding experience?
• Do you feel this was enough?

Ladies: please pose these questions to your husbands and let me know what they say in the comments. Or better yet, let the boys comment directly! I think my husband is really worried he'll not bond with the little guy easily if he doesn't feed him, and just wants to talk to or hear from other men who have been there. I figured this blog was a great place to start.

Thanks in advance!
