My son Aidan is five months in the end of feb. He went through a phase of crying while we fed him but is over that now. The only thing recently that makes him cry is when my Fiance Tim feeds him, but when he is passed to me to feed he stops and usually falls asleep by the end of it in my arms. I am currently a stay at home Mum and my Fiance works and has college everyday. Could my son cry when he feeds him because we have a closer bond since I am with him all day most days? I just feel bad and a little guilty..

I wouldn't feel bad or guilty. Babies naturally have that nurturing bond with their mother. Soon, your son will develop that male bond with his daddy and you may be a bit jealous! Neither bond is stronger than the other... just different! Hope this eases your mind a bit.
