[quote=Anonymous]DS is our first and this time we both decided I would carry since I'm going to stay at home.  She made about 3x more than I did and I wouldn't make much more than a good childcare center would cost.  We made this decision together several years ago before we even started trying to have a baby.  She's been great and was really supportive during my pregnancy but now that baby is here she's having a hard time adjusting to how often baby is with me versus her.  We do a lot of cluster feedings so he's with me about 70% of the time and any other time he is with her.  I also want him to be put down sometimes.  I encouraged her to induce lactation so she could easier bond, but the process was too lengthy and her work schedule hectic.  I've encouraged her to dry comfort nurse but she feels uncomfortable doing so.  I do not want this new baby to put a stress on our relationship, so I'm wondering if we should just switch to bottles (at least for half the feeds) so she can feed him.  It's imperative to me that they bond and that we can all three bond together, above all else.

All advice welcome.[/quote]
