La Leche League would like to have a quiet word with Chinese moms…sometimes breast milk isn’t only best, it’s the only safe choice.

My understanding was that these infants were mostly poor women from very poor districts. It’s hard to breast-feed when you’re working in a factory 14 hours a day.

Not to mention who the heck knows what toxins are in the mother’s bodies. I’m not sure that women in those kinds of environments are capable of producing non-toxic anything.

The working conditions of everyone in China are pretty terrible. It’s generally worse for the kinds of jobs that women do since they’re often doing the fine finishing work - painting toys with all that lead-based paint, for example.
