China encouraging more women to breast feed

In an interesting baby welfare twist in China, the government there is now encouraging all new mothers to breast feed their babies. Why now, you ask? It's feared that the development of Chinese infants is lagging other babies in the world due to too much reliance on other types of infant food outside of normal breast feeding.

Additionally, the growing use of powdered formula is causing concern within China, even though many women there believe it's a more modern way of feeding a baby. Hint: it isn't -- it's quite the reverse.

The urgency, I think, stems from the death of 13 infants years ago that were linked to consuming fake formula (malnutrition was the cause). Fake products from China? Say it isn't so.
