Salma Hayek Provides Breastfeeding Services

Voluptuous humanitarian actress Salma Hayek decided to put her bountiful breasts to use by feeding a baby boy while on a trip to Sierra Leone.

Still swollen from weaning her daughter Valentina, the 42-year-old was happy to share when she learned that the mother of the little boy was unable to produce milk.

"You should have seen his eyes. When he felt the nourishment, he immediately stopped crying," Hayek told Nightline, whose cameras filmed the event.

I think it was a beautiful gesture. HOWEVER, I feel that she should have PUMPED and then BOTTLED the milk and THEN given it to the little boy.

What a beautiful instinct though - to feed a starving baby. But she had her own health and her OWN baby's health to think of and I wouldn't have risked all that.

I don't know how breastfeeding another infant puts her life or her daughter's at risk?Chat Icon

It did mention her daughter was weaned already.

I also think it was a wonderful thing to do. how would it put anyone's life at risk? no different than what wet nurses used to to before there was formula

Re: Salma Hayek Provides Breastfeeding Services

My 1st response is to be grossed out and suprised, but then the reality of what she did sinks in and I am laughing because she is such a mom....Good for her. If I could do that for a starving child I would.

When I first heard of this I was skeeved out too, but then I thought about it. Who would let a baby starve? She had a chance to help a baby LIVE, and took it. I don't know many Hollywood mothers who would do the same.

Re: Salma Hayek Provides Breastfeeding Services

I think it was a beautiful thing to do and do not see how it would put anyone in harm's way.
Although that poor kid got some good milk and now Salma's back to her life - poor kid.

ETS: I think it's a little weird that there's a You Tube video of it - not sure that was necessary.

I agree. What a completely selfless thing to do. I am going to assume those of you who are "grossed" out by this have never nursed a baby? I got very choked up when I heard she did thatChat Icon

Re: Salma Hayek Provides Breastfeeding Services

I have always loved her...I love this.

I love how she is holding his little hand while she is doing it.

Instead of just walking through village, talking the talk...she gives that baby the best meal he could possibly get.

Completely selfless, pure love for babies.

I'd do the same in her situation. You got it, no one else is using it, and there's a hungry baby there (and with the blessing of his parents), then why not? Good for her!

Re: Salma Hayek Provides Breastfeeding Services

Maybe I'm missing something.. but how is that "gift" to the child..?

She breastfed this kid ONE TIME?

Chat Icon

Am I missing something? I don't think one feeding of breast milk is doing all that much.

I just don't get it..

Am I the only one who really didn't flinch at this at all? I'm wondering if something is wrong with me that I don't think this is weird at all! Chat Icon
