There is much debate about breastfeeding versus bottle feeding and which is best for a baby's physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. Based on what you have learned from the textbook, lessons, and outside readings, what advice would you give to a patient who is struggling with the decision to breastfeed her 2-week-old infant? Considering that her milk supply has dipped, she is suffering from severe post-partum depression, but she has access to an excellent lactation consultant. Would you advise that breastfeeding or bottle feeding would be best for her infant's development? Why/why not? Are there any other factors that you must take into consideration?
