That is a sad picture, but it seems that people want to use a picture like that to argue that bottle feeding is unsafe and dangerous.
I don't understand why the twin that was bottle fed died? A child can easily be bottle fed and survive. I am guessing the water that the formula was mixed with was unsafe and the baby died from that? One of the main problems is that she was told (I am guessing by a medical professional) that she could only breastfeed one child. Even if that were true, she could have been encouraged to alternate breastfeedings and bottle feedings between both children, rather than to favor one child for breastfeeding, especially as she watched one thrive and gain, while the other one didn't. There seems to be so many problems with this situation. Bottle feeding by itself doesn't seem to be the main problem.
