Salma Hayek breastfeeds an African baby?

Well, now I’ve heard everything. While visiting an African village last month, Salma Hayek came across a mother who could not provide milk for her baby. The baby was obviously upset because it was hungry, was crying, and since Salma was still breastfeeding her baby Valentina, and had more than enough milk for both, she took pity on the baby and breastfed it. Here’s the video:

I think that she’s probably going to get a lot of flack for this act of unselfishness, but I thought it was pretty amazing. Not many people would go that far for a starving child, and she just did what she needed to do. What do you think?

    This is a very humane and decent thing to do. What’s wrong with it and why so much publicity and cynicism?

    I hope she doesn’t get crap for it! Those who do give her crap would be misguided and possibly ignorant.

    She is incredibly thoughtful, humanistic and filled with love. Most people would be concerned that she might contract an infection or a desease through nipple nicks. All mothers who love their children, see their child in all children. Being that Hayek is from Mexico, if ever her child were in the same situation she would want someone to confort and feed her child. As we all would. Moreover, as a minority, Selma Hyak has the ability to see other minorities as human beings and not an “it”. I think Americans are use to seeing images of African women nursing non-African children as mammies. To see an American star nursing a African starving child, there are people who might be appauled by the sight. Hence, it only made me admire Mrs. Selma Hayek-Penault even more. She is a class act!!
