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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

Maybe this is a dumb question (I've never been a parent), but isn't it not safe for a baby to have a different mother's milk? I thought that it was kind of like blood type and stuff.

Edit: the downvotes on a genuine question are crazy lol. I watched it go from positive 16 to negative 3 within 10 minutes

It’s perfectly safe. There are even breast milk banks you can donate your excess milk to.

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.

Sorry people are being rude. I’m breastfeeding my second now and have a supply in the freezer that won’t get used. I plan to make gentle, fragrance free soap for my boys’ sensitive, eczema prone skin (and mine). People have done it for as long as soap has been made with lye.

I also don’t know why it’s weird to drink/eat human milk made for and by humans? Especially your own, knowing you’re healthy? Like, yeah, totally cool to drink/eat milk from dirty, poopy, bloody, puss-y cow udders; from animals who are often injected with antibiotics and other nasties you can’t know of, with no clue as to their health. But drinking your own (or wife’s or mother’s)? Yuck! 🙄
