BellaOnline Forums Family Attachment Parenting When does bonding really happen?

This week's article is about when bonding is interrupted at birth. When did you first realize you had "bonded" with your baby?

Feeding whether it was with a bottle but especially during breast feeding is when the bonding truly seems to kick in.

I was unable to breastfeed my daughter which broke my heart but I was still able to connect and bond with her while being bottle fed. My sons were breastfed and there is a different connection that happens.
