Salma Hayek breastfeeds African baby

Salma Hayek mothers malnourished baby during trip to Sierra Leone

Salma Hayek drew gasps on a recent trip to Sierra Leone when she breastfed a malnourished newborn.

The Hollywood star, who is still breastfeeding her two-year-old daughter, Valentina, was travelling with American TV news show Nightline in an effort to bring public attention to the war-ravished country, and ended up going beyond the call of duty when introduced to a tiny baby, who happens to share the same birthday as her own child.

'I actually think that my baby would be very proud to be able to share her milk, and when she grows up,' Salma said when questioned about her actions. 'I'm going to make sure she continues to be a caring, generous person.'
