(27,814 posts)My God, the way some reacted, you would think she had stripped naked and danced across the floor of Congress which killing a kitten and drinking its blood.
I think this was partly an ewwwww reaction by idiots who would never suckle a baby of color because they are racists, and partly because Hayek is seen as a sex symbol.
"The actress and producer was told by doctors in Sierra Leone that many mothers stop breastfeeding their infants within the first few months after birth because of pressure from their husbands. Tradition has it, in some areas, that it is not acceptable to have sexual relations with breast feeding women.
Sierra Leone has the highest infant mortality rate in the world, in part fueled by malnutrition. Physicians there told Hayek they would like to see mothers breastfeed for a full two years but that stigma too often gets in the way.
Hayek said her decision to breastfeed another woman's child was an attempt to diminish the stigma placed on women for breast feeding. At the time she was still breastfeeding her 1-year-old daughter."
