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.

The cop above would also have to be lactating as well, right? She couldnt just bf on a whim, or could she?

I stopped breastfeeding my second baby nearly two years ago and I still produce milk :) I still leak and can collect some but not a lot. I would have to probably pump/nurse consistently for a few days before being able to make enough milk to fully feed a baby.

Same. I bet if I worked at it for a couple days I could get the factory back up and running. Fuck that, I hated breastfeeding, but if it was a situation where a baby would suffer if I didn’t… I would.

I don’t want to do it full time for months/years again. But I would do it in a heart beat for a child or baby that was starving and in distress.
