It Can't Be This Way With Bottles

I've never used bottles so I don't know, but I just can't see that it can be this way with bottles.

When Adam is hungry I pick him up and sit down, I lift up my shirt and pull down the flap of my bra. He starts to nurse and he nurses as long as he wants, then he lets go and lays his head down and just rests. Sometimes he is awake, sometimes he is asleep, but I know he is happy because his first sleepy smiles were at the breast after nursing. Those little newborn smiles when his eyes are shut and he has a full tummy of warm good milk. Sometimes he is awake and he lays his cheek on my breast and I know he is happy. He can smell mommy, hear mommy, feel mommy, there is really no happier more secure place for an infant.
