"Questions like whether to breast-feed or bottle-feed, or at what age to introduce solid foods, though still important, no longer carry the same urgency. Attachment theory suggests that babies thrive emotionally because of the overall quality of the care they've experienced, not because of specific techniques. A bottle-fed baby whose mother is sensitively attuned will do better than a breastfed baby whose mother is mechanical and distant."
(Psychologists Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby, FOUNDERS OF THE ATTACHMENT PARENTING METHOD!)
I don't know, she doesn't look "mechanical and distant," does she?!
