One of the things that surprised me the most as a husband of a woman who was breastfeeding her children was the reaction of Miriam, my wife, when on the street I heard a baby cry that was not taken care of: "milk is rising, what Take that child now! "he told me. And is that On more than one occasion she was tempted to be herself who breastfed the baby.
That instinct, constrained by the logic that says that you can not attend and breastfeed the babies of others, is unimportant when you meet an abandoned baby and so Luisa Fernanda Urrea, police officer, did not hesitate to try help that baby by breastfeeding, a fact that has caused it to become famous worldwide.
This is explained to us in The Sun
The baby was found with signs of hypothermia and even with the umbilical cord, because was newborn, in a land of the municipality of Tuluá, in Colombia. A 59-year-old woman picked oranges around the area when she heard moans that made her think there was a cat or a small animal.
Wrapped in a blanket, he found a baby, a girl, and alerted the police. That was how Luisa Fernanda Urrea He met the baby and they starred in a scene that is going around the world. The agent was a mother recently and is still breastfeeding her baby, so seeing the hungry, cold and lonely girl did not hesitate to offer her breast. In the words of Urrea herself:
Because I am a nursing mother, I know the needs that this creature may have and fed the girl. I think any woman would have given her food in the same circumstances.
The girl She was transferred to Tomas Uribe Hospital in the city of Tuluá and put into custody of the Colombian Family Welfare Institute, who along with the authorities will look for the biological mother to initiate a criminal process, while the child has been included in an adoption program.
Did he really save his life?
Although it is very possible that you have seen (or see from now on) this news in other media with a headline similar to "the police officer who saved the life of a baby by breastfeeding", we have not wanted to go so far with the our because although it is possible that the girl ate a little bit of the agent's chest what saved her life was for someone to find her.
Between the breastfeeding and the arrival at the hospital should not have been too much time, so the girl would have been saved equally, whether she had been breastfed or not.
Come on, that many people believe that the news must be shared because Luisa Fernanda saved the little girl's life with her act and I did not want to explain it that way, because I don't think so. If I wanted to talk about it, it is because, despite the fact that the girl was also saved in the hospital, she decided to breastfeed because it was what she felt at that momentIt was what his body asked for, his mother's instinct, and he simply did it.
That is for me the news, the instinct of women, still alive, that urges them to do so, like that of my wife, who on more than one occasion thought of loving the babies of others because the body asked for it. And there are still those who think that we have stopped being mammalian animals for a long time?
