Funny how nobody in social services seems to have thought of how dangerous it might be for a mother who doesn't read well, or has difficulty understanding aseptic technique, or exact measuring, to try to keep a baby nourished on artificial breastmilk substitutes served by bottle.   Never mind the shocking costs to such a mother (in my prejudiced view I am assuming that fewer women with learning disabilities will be among the Very Affluent).  
To my knowledge, dyslexia or low IQ scores in a woman have never prevented her breasts from producing top-quality fresh, hygienic, correctly tempered baby food, in exactly the amount required by the child, served in a comfy and aesthetic setting.  Supporting a mother to breastfeed if you are concerned about her intellectual capacity is (I can't resist!!) A NO-BRAINER.  It's the *only* safe option.
