I just wonder what the hungry child will do now after the token breastfeeding is over...

Salma Hayek breastfeeds a stranger's baby in Africa after the mother runs out of milk

Last updated at 11:56 AM on 11th February 2009


Africa has a strong effect on female celebrities. Madonna adopted a youngster after a visit to Malawi, while Angelina Jolie insisted on giving birth to a child in Namibia.

But Hollywood was agog this morning after From Dusk Till Dawn actress Salma Hayek breastfed a stranger's baby during visit to war-torn Sierra Leone.

The 42-year-old, who has a one-year-old daughter Valentina, was touring a hospital when she came across a mother who was unable to feed her baby boy.

Although TV cameras were there from ABC's Nightline news programme, the actress did not hesitate.

Hayek said: 'The baby was perfectly healthy, but the mother did not have any milk. He was very hungry - I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk, so I breast-fed the baby.'

She added: 'It was amazing because he's really looking at me and he's very little. My baby is one year so she can suck a lot harder.'

Disgusting. Women aren't cows. She should have just bought a gallon of milk for them.

Actually...I meant that it is disgusting for another woman to breast feed another woman's child. Theres simply something VERY disturbing about that.

It was the "just buy a gallon milk comment" that incited my response.

It's SO distrubing they even have a name for such people.. they're called wet nurses.

[edro]

Ok, that's weird.

 

[SunnyD]

:thumbsup: Would read again!

Does it really matter that she nursed someone else's kid? Seriously... it's breast milk. It's not like you're gonna get any of it... or is that why you all are so pissed about it? Hmm..

holy crap, they took the video down. i just watched it earlier. it was narrated like it was in a documentary.

i wonder if someone complained....

and no, you couldn't see much of anything, but she was definitely letting the child feed.

edit: Well, it was easy enough to find elsewhere

Human breast milk >>>>>>>>> powdered milk or regular cow milk.

Seriously what's so weird about this?

This. It's human nature; we're social animals.

Now I'm just starting to think that some of you simply don't get that infants aren't supposed to drink regular milk. They aren't supposed to drinking dairy milk until they are past the age of one.

This was in a hospital with a woman who I'm assuming has a newborn. Regular milk or "powdered" milk shouldn't even be in question. It simply is too harsh on their digestive systems and contains no where near the nutrition that breast milk or infant formula does.

It actually used to be quite common in the western world. Ever hear of a wet nurse?

But milk from a cow (an entirely different species) is a-okay?
Besides, babies don't start drinking milk until they're past a year old, it's breast milk or formula until then.
