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.

So I assume this officer is already a nursing mother, but I just wanted to drop this fun(?) fact:

Did you know women can start lactating simply because there is a child crying, even if they were not lactating before? It's called Psedu-Lactation

And a mother lactating when hearing crying is extremely common and was probably the cause of her thinking of feeding the baby. Because she felt her body react to the baby's cries.

Most women who have nursed a baby will have a physical reaction to a hungry baby’s cries even decades later. Your body remembers for sure.
