Salma Hayek Breastfeeding An African Baby Boy (Video)
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 06:10 PM by democracy1st
Salma Hayek let "Nightline" and Cynthia McFadden follow her on a goodwill trip to Sierra Leone a few months ago, and while there she breastfeed a newborn baby boy whose mother had no milk.

Hayek's own daughter Valentina turned one just before she took the trip.

She spoke of the incident recently, and it turns out "Nightline" aired video of the feeding.


"The baby was perfectly healthy, but the mother didn't have milk. He was very hungry. I was weaning Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk that I was pumping, so I breast-fed the baby. You should have seen his eyes. When he felt the nourishment, he immediately stopped crying."

2. Good for her. It is milk and the baby was hungry.
:hi:

I have never understood the many taboos about breast feeding.

10. That's an easy question to answer.
Those fatty lumps on a womans chest are sex organs because the woman derives pleasure from them. Therefore breast feeding a baby is an act of a pedophile. See, that was simple, yes? :eyes:

9. A mixed blessing for the mother, sadly. Having to watch another woman
being able to easily provide the milk that she could not provide herself.

And what happens the next time the baby cries?

14. Awesome. How wonderful.
I remember when I was lactating, there were times where I would hear babies cry and my body would let down the milk, even though the kids weren't mine. My boobs were like, "Hungry children near! Magic boob power, activate!"

17. my first thought too
I don't remember much about the books I read in high school, but that image was incredible.

That was a lovely thing for her to do.
