According to recent research … mothers who bottle-feed rather than breastfeed are putting themselves at greater risk of postnatal depression … an absence of breastfeeding has been connected with the death of a child, and … the decision to bottle-feed mimics that loss … those who bottle-fed their babies scored much higher on a postnatal depression scale than those who breastfed.
