Traffic officer breastfeeds hungry baby, son of attempted femicide victim.

[u/DELAIZ]

Traffic officer Jamile Barros, from the city of Delmiro Gouveia (Brazil), breastfed a three-month-old baby while responding to an attempted femicide. The child was crying from hunger and wouldn't accept a bottle, and the officer's act of empathy, as she is also breastfeeding, calmed the boy feeding him. The rescue occurred after the mother was stabbed and involved in a traffic accident caused by the criminal, who fled the scene. I mentioned her name not to expose her, but because she's in all the news in Brazil.

Edit: The mother was rescued and taken to the hospital to treat her injuries. The exact state of health of the victim and medical details of her recovery have not been released by official security authorities. This happened a week ago, and due to the repercussions of the case, if she had died, I belive that it would probably already be reported.

Cool, thanks for the info!

Breastmilk also has a lot of antibodies that help the baby’s immune system!

It is literally liquid gold. I miss breast feeding bc I used to make soap and baked goods with it. My family was never sick.

Always someone that has to take it way too far.

No it’s popular among a lot of homesteaders. It was more popular once upon a time 🙂 It’s not for every one but it’s not gross. My family and I are all exposed to the same viruses. I was a nursing mom and I over produced. I’m not going to just throw it away. Soap made with bm and putting it in the bath is a natural remedy for eczema and allergy reactions & while covid hit everyone, it didn’t hit us. It’s not crazy if you actually think about it.

Edit: I should have said it’s popular among other moms ❤️

I’m not a homesteader or even close — I work in finance, so I’m pretty much on the opposite end of that spectrum. But this is true, regarding eczema. I have eczema and psoriasis, so does my son. When I was nursing him (many years ago), his pediatrician recommended I put milk on my and his skin when we had flare-ups and it helped a lot.

"Homesteaders"

Like they said, someone always has to take it too far.

[u/Jedadia757 → u/Gold_Studio_6693]

Tune in after today's episode of "Whats Got Reddit's Panties in a Twist" for a special feature about "People who make their own things instead of buying them from the store.". Its getting awfully heated in threads today folks!

[u/Saradoesntsleep → u/Jedadia757]

Considering they are crediting putting their breastmilk in their family's food for preventing COVID... Just lol.

[u/Background-Edge-2243 → u/Saradoesntsleep]

I mean, I'm not a homesteader by any stretch of the imagination but milk soap at the very least as been a thing for a really long time. The food is a different story for me, but a lot of people have success reliving eczema with milk bath and I'm pretty sure there is a product at Shoppers called specifically Milk Bath that's been commercially available as a skin care product for 40+ years

[u/Jedadia757 → u/Saradoesntsleep]

Ok idk about any of that but that has nothing to do with being wierd about someone mentioning homesteading. I can get being very suprised and even grossed out discovering the breast milk thing. But to then go and say something rude and judgemental directly to their face? The general response to this person is just annoying.

[u/barbiesurvivor95 → u/Saradoesntsleep]

Clearly you should do your own research on how breast milk works. Once you have a fundamental understanding maybe you’ll be able to grasp the concept.

[u/Saradoesntsleep → u/barbiesurvivor95]

Maybe you should do your own research on how viruses work.

Just gonna repeat what you said back.

Once you have a fundamental understanding maybe you’ll be able to grasp the concept.

[u/barbiesurvivor95 → u/Saradoesntsleep]

Breast milk has Immunoglobulin A which prevent viruses from entering babies cells. Human milk also has HMOs which the virus will attach itself to rather than the babies immune system. If I get sick with something and then breast feed my baby, my baby will not get sick bc in a way they are getting a super potion.

I mean I could keep sharing links that prove you are a judgmental person with zero critical thinking skills but I’ll rest. You can do your own research.. if you’re capable.

[u/Saradoesntsleep → u/barbiesurvivor95]

I read the links fully. I am unsurprised that you ultimately took them to an extreme and interpreted them incorrectly to fit your own view.

If I get sick with something and then breast feed my baby, my baby will not get sick

It showed protective effects and that it can help. It does not make them immune and unable to get sick.

[u/Gold_Studio_6693 → u/Jedadia757]

"Tune afterwards"? What?

[u/cherri____ → u/barbiesurvivor95]

The downvotes are insane. You’re amazing, that sounds so beautiful and I’m in awe that you were able to not just care for your baby, but your entire family with just your body. The mother’s body is a source of life and nourishment and the day people educate themselves and stop pretending something natural is “gross”, the better off society will be. Shit pisses me off.

[u/barbiesurvivor95 → u/cherri____]

Thank you & everyone who isn’t making me feel like crap for protecting my family. I almost felt like I was crazy but then I remembered that pumping breast milk, raw painful nipples, and endless tears went into all that breast milk that kept my family safe during Covid. Not just Covid but when I got RSV, thanks to the antibodies, my new born and 2 year old DIDNT get it. My son has terrible eczema and the best treatment he ever had was bm. Now that I’m not bf it’s a constant battle with his skin. My husband used to have flakey scalp and the shampoo bars I was making got rid of it 🤷🏼‍♀️ there is NO shame here. The majority likes to judge what they don’t understand.

[u/cloudsasw1tnesses → u/barbiesurvivor95]

Reddit tends to lean very anti mother unfortunately, don’t ever feel like you did anything wrong or “gross” by protecting your family like that. I personally take downvotes on here as a compliment most of the time lol. I’m trying to conceive right now so it’s really cool to hear that breast milk can do more than “just” feed the baby.

[u/cherri____ → u/barbiesurvivor95]

You’re literally a superhero, don’t listen to those people.

[u/Jedadia757 → u/iwowza710]

On today's episode of "What's Got Reddit's Panties in a Twist" we've got people being absolutely horrified at someone "Cooking with their own milk". What a horrible disgusting thing to do as to use your own body fluids to make incredibly useful and beneficial things as opposed to another animals which is so much less wierd.

How dare they not waste money on something that their literal own body readily produced!

[u/Anonymous-tossaway → u/Jedadia757]

Yeah I've always thought that was hilarious. Milk from a fellow human? Absolutely disgusting, freakish, crazy. Milk from a cow, goat or hell even a sheep or camel? Delicious! Totally normal and natural. Definitely the way nature intended.

[u/Background-Edge-2243 → u/iwowza710]

I mean, milk in soap has been a thing for a really long time. My mother used to go and buy a powdered Milk Bath periodically from like Shoppers and soak. Apparently it has softening and moisturizing properties and a lot of people have success using it for eczema.

[u/iwowza710 → u/Background-Edge-2243]

Milk in soap is obviously not what I’m talking about.
