Salma Hayek breastfed a stranger's child on an episode of Nightline on February 10, 2009. She was on a humanitarian trip to Sierra Leone. While breastfeeding is often considered taboo in the country, Hayek fed the child to encourage other women to breastfeed their own babies and talked about what she believes are the health benefits of breastfeeding. Later in the trip, Hayek researched and reported on the historically high rate of tetanus cases in the country.
