Said Hayek of breastfeeding the other woman's child, "I actually think my baby would be very proud to be able to share her milk and when she grows up I will make sure she continues to share and be generous caring person."
Salma actually recalled a similar story about her great-grandmother, who had also helped out a woman in a similar situation.
Hayek explained, "My great-grandmother was in a Mexican village and they found a woman in the street inconsolably crying and the baby was also crying, crying, crying.
"My great-grandmother went up to her and said, 'What is the matter?' and the mother said, 'She is very, very hungry and I have no more milk.'
"And in the street my great-grandmother took the baby and breastfed that baby who instantly stopped crying and went peacefully to sleep.
"It was amazing (to breastfeed another child) because I was really impressed by (my great-grandmother's) story. I'm here in Sierra Leone and I was able to feed a baby that was very hungry."
