Chinese still aren't breastfeeding enough

China is still lagging behind national and global breastfeeding targets, according to China Daily. Just 45.3% of newborns were breastfed for a full for months and only 20% of mothers breastfeed their infants for at least six months. WHO targets suggest that all infants six months or younger be fully breastfed. Part of the reason has been the "aggressive promotion of baby formula products" which mislead young mothers through exaggerations that their product make babies "smarter" and "healthier." This is despite the whole melanine scandal, which seems to have little impact despite all the unfortunate deaths.
