National breastfeeding awareness day marked in China

Mother breastfeed their children in this photo provided by La Leche League-China. May 20 is China's National Breastfeeding Awareness Day. As the pronunciation of "520" is close to "I Love You," in Mandarin, many mothers believe it's meaningful to have photos of them breastfeeding made public. La Leche League-China, a branch of the international organization, La Leche League, that provides mother-to-mother support, information and encouragement for breastfeeding, has collected art photos of breastfeeding mothers for three consecutive years.
