Police Officer Goes Viral After Photo Shows Her Breastfeeding Malnourished Baby

Police Officer Goes Viral After Photo Shows Her Breastfeeding Malnourished Baby
via Facebook

Social media is praising her kindness.

An Argentinian police officer is being celebrated all across social media after a friend snapped a picture of her breastfeeding a malnourished baby when she noticed hospital staff were too busy to care for him.


Officer Celeste Ayala was on guard duty at Sister Maria Ludovica Children's Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina when an overwhelmed mother of six brought in her youngest child.

The baby boy was suffering from malnutrition; the mother had been struggling to provide him the care he needed. According to the officer's friend, hospital staff called the baby "smelly and dirty."

When officer Ayala noticed the overloaded staff was too busy to help she took matters into her own hands. Ayala approached the medical staff and asked if she could hold and breastfeed the boy. The baby who had been screaming and crying calmed down as soon as Ayala began feeding him.

"I noticed that he was hungry, as he was putting his hand into his mouth, so I asked to hug him and breastfeed him. It was a sad moment, it broke my soul seeing him like this, society should be sensitive to the issues affecting children, it cannot keep happening."


As Ayala was breastfeeding the baby her friend Marcos Heredia snapped a photo and posted it to Facebook with this caption;


"I want to make public this great gesture of love you made today for this little baby who you did not know, but for who you did not hesitate to act like a mother. You did not care if he was dirty or smelly, which is what the hospital staff called him. Good job mate."


Hospital staff called the baby "smelly and dirty" but that didn't stop Ayala.


After asking the staff for permission Ayala breastfeed the malnourished child.




Heredia's post quickly went viral, reaching over 100,000 shares, and others were as touched as Heredia by officer Ayala's act of motherly love.

Those sharing the story had words of praise for officer Ayala.







Officer Ayala also volunteers for the local fire department in her spare time. When her fellow firefighters heard about Ayala's act of kindness they were eager to join others in praising her.

"We want to congratulate the voluntary firefighting cadet Celeste Ayala who yesterday in her job as police officer whilst she was on guard duty at the Hospital, breastfed a young child who arrived crying. Actions like these fill us with pride and obligate us to redouble the effort, the work and the solidarity with our community."




In a time when negative stories about law enforcement are far more likely to make headlines, officers like Celeste Ayala deserve recognition for their selfless behavior.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
