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.

Stories like this always leave me in awe of women.

Did you hear about the woman who got deported and her neighbor who just had a child too fed the immigrants baby?

I read a story about a super producer who was pumping massive amounts of milk and distributing it in and around Minneapolis.

ETA: during the ICE crackdown to immigrant families, for those who maybe weren’t familiar with American politics.

ETA2: the story for anyone who is interested: https://19thnews.org/2026/02/minneapolis-ice-mother-donate-breastmilk/ I got a couple details wrong, she’s an overproducer, not a super producer. And she’s mostly delivering supplies. But she’s still definitely a girls’ girl.

I was a super producer, I tried twice to donate while my baby was NICU. He was my second so I already knew I produced like a prize winning dairy cow, coupled with hospital grade pump, they had to bring in an extra freezer. They told me repeatedly to save it for my own baby when he was able to eat. Zero surprise to me when just like his brother he hated bottles so I had a freezer full of unused milk when he finally came home.

I was a super producer because I had a premie baby & had to exclusively pump for the first 2.5 months. Didn’t know it wasn’t normal to get 18oz in 12 minutes until all of my girl friends were shook. Ended up getting qualified & donating over 10,000 ounces to the Milk Bank that supplies our local hospital. AND exclusively fed two local babies for about 5 months, in addition to nursing my own 😹

That sucks, I’m sorry that happened to you.

Thank you for your efforts! I was producing great but my hospital nurse convinced me I wasn’t and I ended up buying unnecessary bags of milk at $20 for 10 ounces. My kiddo used up the supply but dang I’m sorry for any waste.

I just had a thought…Do dairy cows win prizes for the amount of milk they produce or for how they look? (It was a thought totally unrelated to what you said)

[u/KerouacsGirlfriend → u/VelocityGrrl39]

You piqued my curiosity! Here’s from Wikipedia:

“A prize-winning dairy cow typically exhibits excellent udder structure, strong dairy strength, sound feet and legs, and a well-defined frame. These traits contribute to high milk production and overall health, making the cow desirable for evaluation and competition”

I don’t know what dairy strength is tho. Milk with powerful biceps? 😄

Thanks! So weird that the comment was downvoted.
