If bf seems to have a bad day...
We had visitors for about a week and LO seems congested with runny eye like she has a cold. Our bf went ok, but for the week I went in other rooms and didn't get as much skin to skin as I like w/ her due to visitors. So, after they left I created a warm bath for LO and me, and she got super relaxed and latched on a few times. Don't try this w/o support person to keep safe, and be sure to keep LO warm (I pour water in her back and wash cloth on her back to keep warmth. after, she and I cuddled on vouch (she in onesie and socks to keep warm) and she nursed and sleep and nursed for a few hours. I indulged in some Netflix shows, and stared at her. If anyone feels a little disconnected or out of sync (like new routine due to back to work or weird schedule), I'd say try this. For me it creates a feeling of rebirth and my emotions get back to where they were at the birth (probably increases oxytocin). I bet you could do even if bottle feeding.., 
The only disclaimer is to watch baby's reaction so it's comfy for both of you.
