There is no way in hell that I could leave a baby/child to die; I would try my best to care for the child.
This reminds me of one of the moral questions that was presented when I was in junior high (middle school): Two people are the only survivers of an accident in the desert. They have no food or water, and there is no chance of them being saved by a search & rescue party. A man who lives in the desert finds them, and explains that he has only barely enough food and water for two people to reach the nearest settlement. Three people will deplete the supplies too quickly and all three will die before reaching the settlement. The person who remains behind will have no food or water, and will die before the other two reach the settlement.
