I am prety confident Salma didn’t do it for publicity, let’s get that straight out of the way. Being a ‘new’ mother, I’m sure her instincts got the better hand. Not even considering the medical/health consequences. Besides, she doesn’t lack publicity nor money. Her job at Unicef is to make this world a better place.

Still, I’m not sure this was such a smart move. I’ve just welcomed my first child (55 days) and see my kid and my wife enjoying the breatsfeeding, although it takes a lot from her. Breastfeeding is very common in Turkey. But I wonder what kind of impression that gives to the incapable – for the obvious reasons – mother?

Sure, Salma provided a full nutricious meal to that one child, yet couldn’t provide the same service to the many others in the same situation. Moreover, we parents know how children are: they get used to ‘givens’ pretty quickly. This poor child got a full stomach, to find out that the next (few) day(s), nothing will come. Let’s not forget that in those countries breastmilk is as uncommon as running (drinkable) water. Sad, but true!

Again, I don’t know. Maybe this one boost may buy that child a few more extra days/weeks.

Bottom line, the world has pumped sooooo much money already in the richest continent of the world – yes, they really have it all! If only their ‘leaders’ would stop fighting, stop persuing personal benefits and invest the money the richer countries provide. To grow crops, educate people and build! Instead of destroying everything every so many months/years. That would benefit their whole population!

So yes, maybe Salma did the right thing, by buying that one child some extra time, hoping…

Then, when the baby is sleeping and content, I’ll teach the mom how to grow her own nutritious food and herbs to increase her milk production and how to go tell her husband to jerk off in the jungle while she breastfeeds her bundle of joy. Ah! and if the baby wakes up in between all this, I’ll feed him/her again and again.

I’ve always liked Salma Hayek, but now I like her even more. It’s a Latina thing, and now we’ve put breastfeeding into a whole different level.
