Since ABC's "Nightline" aired a story last week about Salma Hayek's goodwill trip to Sierra Leone, there has been a world-wide outpouring of reaction. Newspapers from Europe to Australia have made headlines out of a portion of the story in which Hayek breastfeeds another woman's newborn son on camera.

The clip of Hayek nursing a very hungry baby boy (ironically born on the same day as her own daughter) has surfaced on YouTube as well as on dozens of other web sites, drawing thousands of comments.

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.

She told "Nightline" co-anchor Cynthia McFadden that she thought her daughter wouldn't mind sharing her milk. "Am I being disloyal to my child by giving her milk away?" Hayek said. "I actually think my baby would be very proud to share her milk. And when she grows up I'm going to make sure she continues to be a generous, caring person."

Hayek told McFadden that that the idea of helping a child in this way had a long tradition in her family. She related a story about her great-grandmother many years ago in Mexico saving the starving baby of a stranger by breastfeeding the child.

If more Humans were like Salma, this world would have been so much better for Humanity.

that poor little baby was hungry! you can see the gratitude in his eyes when he was nursing. and that lady said she would deny him that. deprive him? heartless!

ppl used to use wet nurses all the time back in the day. it's the stupid society of today that looks down on it.

[bburletson]

I hate that people make this seem wrong. If you saw a starving baby would you not do the same? Breast milk is the BEST food for a baby! The fact that people are trying to make this seem sexual just shows how immature y'all are.

- Breastfeeding mama and DAMN proud of it!

Holy poor transcription Batman! Whoever put up the subtitles needs to check their ears, because most of the text is wrong.

[oscarwinner1000]

That's beautiful. So generous, this society is so disgustingly westernised and sexualised that you can't breastfeed in public in most western countries. These reporters are idiots. The male is sexualising breastfeeding.

The grandmother story of Salma Hayek, kind of tells me, why she is so daring about showing breasts and getting naked.. she has it in her blood

[princesarberas]

@Ronaldinhoo11: or may be he will consider Salma Hayek as her second mother? and talk about her with respect and dignity.. just saying.. ya'know!!
