Nursing another child

As I sit here reading a story about Salma Hayek nursing a sick infant in Sierra Leone, I am surprised to find that my body decides to react as well by having a let down. Not to gross anyone out but it just happens periodically throughout the day at odd times when Cooper is not nursing. Who is to say why? I am moved by her generosity and willingness to nurse a child she has just met and help show the women in Sierra Leone that it is ok to continue nursing your child. Hopefully her actions will help change the stigma that men and women can not have sexual relations while the mother is nursing, and more mothers will continue to nurse for longer periods of time. In the clip the medical professionals talk about wanting the mothers to nurse for at least two years, to help decrease infant mortality rates and malnutrition. Why would a mother not want to help her child to live if she could do so? I could not imagine stopping nursing if it was the best thing for my child, and would help to keep my child alive. If it came down to helping save the life of another child I would nurse that child in order to give him or her the best chance at life. With that said I hope that more people choose to nurse their children, to give them the best start in life possible by what is natural.
