[this is based on some musings I have had and I'm interested in what different people think]
If you are committed to the idea that breast is best but a mother is finding bfeeding so difficult they are very depressed about it, not bonding with their child etc etc
is it better for the child to be ff with a non-depressed mother who bonds with them, or bf with a depressed mother who doesn't?
(Assuming for the sake of argument that there is no way to change the mental state of bfeeding mother.)
(I'm musing on this one because quite a few people have said they stopped bfeeding for reasons like this and then found they were able to bond with their baby (and in fact it applies to me) so I am wondering if the "breastfeeding nazis" (tongue in cheek) out there rate breastfeeding higher than maternal bonding for baby welfare)
