Just how long do you see this survival taking? If you have plenty of resources to feed both, then you feed both, for many of the good reasons previously posted by others.
The fact that it would take many years to raise a child to be productive and helpful to survival, you would have to have years of supplies, or a steady supply to get the child to that point.
My point is, in a survival situation, you don't usually have enough supplies even for a long term survival of self, much less the greater amount of supplies to take care of someone who can't help out in any situation. Weeks is a long time in survival and you are talking about years to raise another human being....
