Wyeth campaign to promote breast-feeding

A collection of oil paintings in tribute to breast-feeding mothers is making a 20-stop tour of Chinese cities until August, as part of a large exhibition sponsored by baby nourishment products provider Wyeth Nutrition to celebrate its centenary efforts in infant health.

A second part of the exhibition, run by the company's scientists, gives a thorough explanation of the nutritional benefits of breast milk while a third is composed of modern sculptures, paintings and multi-media art works.

Qu Feng, president of Wyeth Nutrition Greater China, formerly Pfizer Nutrition, which is now part of Nestle SA, said the event's organizers want to highlight the preciousness of breast milk and show their respect for the millions of Chinese mothers who have breast-fed their children.
