My obstetrician said the same thing: happy mom = happy baby. But she didn't advise bottle feeding. Apparently, there are a lot of antidepressants that are ok when breastfeeding. However, I'm still being stubborn and haven't begun taking anything yet.

Here's an article about various antidepressants and breastfeeding. Some of them don't have much data behind them, but it's some good information, I think.
