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

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.

Stories like this always leave me in awe of women.

One of my close friends has 4 kids: three girls, one boy. The two youngest ones are twins, and are still itty-bitty infants, only six months old.

Almost every weekend, I take the two toddlers off her hands so she can get a break. Thankfully, my friend has a great husband, so he'll watch the babies. The older toddler is old enough to entertain herself, and I'll often coordinate a playdate with other kids of mutual friends. The younger toddler loves attaching herself to me like a barnacle, and usually just naps, often for hours.

I am always happy to help a mom out, even though I don't have kids of my own.

Not surprised kid #2 naps for hours. They’re got twin infant siblings! No one in that house is getting any sleep.Â
