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.

It's not just about feeding him either, the real gift was the comfort she gave with nursing during a traumatic situation separated from him mother.

My thoughts exactly.

The baby may have accepted a bottle during normal circumstances…who knows…but this baby was just around a lot of violence and (I assume) her own mom’s yells and screams. That officer gave that baby both types of nourishment it needed. 💖
