Big salute! A police officer breastfeeds a malnourished baby

A police officer breastfed a ‘malnourished and dirty’ baby that was brought into a hospital where she was on guard duty.Celeste Ayala was working at the Sor Maria Ludovica children’s hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina when the baby was brought in crying desperately.

The officer asked the doctors for permission to hold and feed him because she could see the baby was hungry and hospital staff were overloaded with work.

A friend of the police officer, Marcos Heredia, says that the hospital staff called the baby ‘dirty’, but that Ayala was not concerned. He took a picture of her breastfeeding the hungry baby and shared it online.

To all the breastfeeding in public naysayers, check out the kindness of this police officer. Celeste Ayala saw that hospital staff were too busy to treat this neglected baby so she whipped out a breast and did it herself. #breastfeeding #CelesteAyala #RandomActsOfKindness pic.twitter.com/LfcE6Qyo2U
