While the author of the reading passage argues that bottle-feeding is more profitable than breastfeeding, the lecturer opposes the reading's assertion with counter views.
First of all, according to the reading passage, bottle-feeding would be helpful for those mothers who have to go out with their baby, because breastfeeding is uncomfortable in public places. On the contrary, the lecturer mentions that breastfeeding would be more comfortable than bottle-feeding for mother, because they don't have to care about bottle. The speaker also states that human milk is sufficient for baby's nutrition until six months, and it gives a perfect protection against many diseases.
Additionally, the reading passage then points out that mothers who feed their baby with bottle can get back to their ordinary living style easier. The professor, however, counters by stating that since mothers who give their baby human milk don't have to worry about bottle's hygiene and carriage, breastfeeding is more convenient. She adds that it would be much helpful for mothers' to lose their weight because breastfeeding requires extra calories from mothers.
Finally, the author of the reading claims that bottle-feeding can give opportunities to others to build bond with a baby. On the other hand, the speaker insists that breastfeeding which is performed in their mother's arms is very important for babies' emotional states. According to her, father can develop his relationship with a baby by babying or cuddling, so it is not necessary for others to feed a baby with bottle. |
