In the United States, about 77% of new mothers breast-feed at least briefly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in April.
In China,about 49% of mothers with babies under 6 months breast-feed exclusively. In 2007, according to the Ministry of Health, about 72% of mothers with infants under 4 months practiced some breast feeding.
Rates in both nations vary depending on whether researchers count exclusive bread-feeding or breast-feeding in combination with formula.
Such practice will generate a good relationship between the mother and the baby. The father may or may not agree with such aphorism.
Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao is the witness of such practices in the USA and in China in the bygone days.
