President Chen Shui-bian's (³¯¤ô«ó) daughter Chen Hsing-yu (³¯©¯§±) shared the benefits of breastfeeding in an article posted on the Breastfeeding Association Taiwan (BAT) Web site, which will be launched on 29 June.

A founding member of the association pointed out yesterday that breastfeeding is not seen as being trendy in this country and that the promotion of the practice faced many obstacles.

The BAT has 172 members -- most of them are intellectuals and 16 of them are males. Chen Hsing-yu is an honorable member, the association said."..."
