Option 1: There is much debate about breastfeeding versus bottle feeding and which is best for a baby's physical, cognitive and socioemotional development. Based on what you have learned from the textbook, lessons and outside readings, what advice would you give to a patient who is struggling with the decision to breastfeed her 2-week-old infant. Consider that her milk supply has dipped, she is suffering from severe post-partum depression, but she has access to an excellent lactation consultant. Would you advise that breastfeeding or bottle feeding would be best for her infant's development? Why/why not? Are there any other factors that you must take into consideration?

Option 2: Researchers like Ainsworth, Bowlby and Harlow all theorized about the importance of attachment in infancy. Using what you have learned about attachment in infancy, how would you choose the best childcare arrangements for an 8-month old? Do you think that having a mother or father stay at home is the best option? Or is a daycare best? What about a nanny? Extended family member? Other option? Explain your reasoning and be sure to make connections to relevant theory and research from your studies this week.

Please translate from Latin to English:

Olim erant tres socii qui peregrinabantur. Ita accidit ut cibum praeter unum panem invenire non possent. Itaque, [coom] essent valde famelici, invicem dixerunt: "Si ille panis in tres partes dividatur, uni quique tertia pars non sufficiat ad nos saturandos. Capiamus ergo sanum consilium quomodo debeamus panem distribuere."

Ait unus: "Hic in via dormiamus, et quilibet mirabilissimum somnium habuerit, ille totum panem habeat."

Responderunt alii: "Bonum est consilium." Et coeperunt dormire. At ille qui consilium dederat surrexit et, [coom] alii dormirent, panem omnino comedit, nec unicam micam solicis suis reliquit. Hoc facto, socios suos excitavit, dicen: "Surgite velociter! Nunc somnium cuique narrandum est."

Ait primus: "Carissimi, mirabile somnium vidi, scilicet scalam auream de caelo pendentem, per quam angeli descendebant et ascendebant; et animam meam usque ad caelum de corpore meo extraxerunt. Quando eo perveni, Patrem et Filium et Spiritum Sanctum vidi, et tantum gaudium circa animam meam erat ut neque oculus videre, neque auris audire posset quod ibidem percepi; circa animam meam erat ut neque oculus videre, neque auris audire posset quod ibidem percepi; tale equidem est somnium meum."

Ait secnudus: "Et ego vidi daemones [coom] instrumentis ferreis igneisque animam meam de corpore meo extrahere. Me autem male tractabant, dicentes: 'Quamidiu deus regnat in caelo, permanebis in hoc loco.'"

Ait tertius: "Audite somnium meum! Videbatur mihi quendam angelum ad me venietem dicere: 'Carissime, nonne vis videre quibus in locis sint socii tui?'

"Respondi: Etiam, domine; quia unus panis nobis distribuendus est, timeo ne [coom] pane recesserint."

"At ille: 'Non est ita; sed panis iuxta te est; sequere me.' Duxit me ad portam caeli. Tum caput meum secundum praeceptum eius infra portam posui; subinde te vidi; mihi vero videbatur te ad caelum raptum esse et sedere in throno sureo et multum cibum vinaque optima esse ante te.

"Mihi dixit angelus: 'Ecce, socius tuus abundat omni gaudio et cibo, et ibidem aeternum permanebit, quia, qui semel regnum caeleste intraverit, exire non npoterit. Mecum veni, et tibi ostendam quo in loco alter socius tuus sit.'

"[coom] vero secutus illum essem, duxit me ad inferni portas, et ibi te vidi, sicut dixisti, afflictum poenis gravissimis, et tibi non licebat cinum edere. Tunc tibi dixit: "O carissime soci, mihi displicet te in his poenis iacere.'

"Tu vero mihi respondisti, 'Quamdiu deus regnat in caelo, hic permanebo, quia hoc merui. Surge ergo cito, totu, panem comede, quia rursus nec me nec socium nostrum videbis'

"Ego vero [coom] hoc audivissem surrexi et, ut mihi imperaveras, panem comedi."
