So we know Angelina is a real saint..but would she feed a hungry african baby with her own boobs like Salma Hayek did?
I shouldn't be so amazed by the act of breastfeeding, but it actually makes me feel happy to see a celeb do this.. don't know why I feel that way exactly? Maybe sometimes you forget celebs are normal people like us. The baby really looks like he's getting a decent feed too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzEKVcwx6a4 - Watch it here |

Wow. That's... spectacular. That baby really looks like he's having a good guzzle, you're right! I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be feeding someone else's baby personally, but good on her! -------------

IKWYM about she seems like a really down to earth person. I'm not really into breastfeeding other people's kids though. But ditto weegee, good on her. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

| Yeah I can't say I'd be totally into it under normal circumstances either, but I don't know how I'd feel being in a situation with a starving baby and knowing I could instantly satisfy that hunger.. I just don't know? |

I would breastfeed a child if it were starving, I could never walk away from that.
I like her story about her grandmother coming across the crying woman in the street. Good on her. ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

Wow, thats pretty awesome!
Totally agree I couldn't walk away from a starving child when I have what it needs right there. Although It still seems weird, it would be pretty amazing. I like Salma Hayek! -------------

I loved that - I'd do it in a flash. The worst thing though would be leaving knowing it was only one feed and that the baby would be hungry again soon  -------------

I agree Bobbie, that would be heartbreaking. It was be so hard knowing that you couldnt feed all the babies that were hungry.... I saw these guys on Oprah - they really rock - http://www.breastmilkproject.org/ - http://www.breastmilkproject.org/

Good on ya Salma - unfortunately as great as she is I bet she cops a bit of flack for it though??!!
I haven't had children so haven't breastfed but I too think that if I were to come across a starving baby I would like to think I would help it out and breastfeed it.
