Expressing off and letting DH feed bub is great, I've done it myself, but IMO there is heaps more other ways for Dad to bond with bub.
Like the others have said bathing, nappy changes, dressing, burping, general playing and cuddling, and having him wear bub in a sling about the house etc.
To cut a long story short ... I breastfed for 6 months...But i also supplemented his feeds with a bottle of formula. He would take both quite happily. It also made it easy for DH to feed him when I needed him to or if I left him with other family members. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with either breastfeeding or bottle feeding, and the way I saw it, my bubs was getting the best of both worlds
