Salma Hayek Breastfeeding African Baby

A bit of celebrity breastfeeding news here on the Breastmates Blog today:


Salma Hayek is such an advocate of breastfeeding. The latest thing that I heard about, was when she was visiting Sierra Leon working with UNICEF to eliminate tetanus. A clip was featured on US Nightline show.

During the interview an African mother said that her baby didn't get much breastmilk. So Salma nursed the baby for her! The TV camera clearly recorded Salma breastfeeding, and you can see the baby suckling and looking very content. Wet nursing.

The TV segment discusses the importance of breastfeeding, especially in countries like Sierra Leone where malnutrition is rampant.

The fact that Salma wet nursed another women's baby is sure to be quite controversial.

Salma has spoken to the media about breastfeeding before, on Oprah when she said breastfeeding doesnt help weight loss, another time when she said she addicted to breastfeeding and pumping all the time to get lots of milk. I love it that she is such a proud breastfeeding mama, even if she is a celebrity!
