An Argentine police officer has been awarded a heroic promotion after a photo of her breastfeeding a neglected baby at a hospital surfaced.

The woman identified as Celeste Ayala was captured in her uniform, breastfeeding a seven months old baby who was crying.

It is understood that she was among a team of officers who admitted six siblings into state custody on August 14, due to ill treatments at home.

It was gathered that at the hospital where the children were being attended to, the youngest sibling, about seven months was crying when Ayala requested permission from staff of the hospital to breastfeed him.

Marco Heredia, a colleague of hers shared the photo on Facebook while applauding her kind gesture.

The police woman who is said to be breastfeeding her 16 months old daughter told Argentine television show Cronica that she didn’t hesitate for a second.

“I didn’t doubt it for a second. So I pulled out my breast and he became calm.”

She later met with the minister of security for the Province of Buenos Aires, Cristian Ritondo who notified her of her promotion.

“Today we received Celeste, the officer who breast-fed a baby at the # LaPlata Children’s Hospital to notify her of her promotion.

“We wanted to thank her in person for that gesture of spontaneous love that managed to calm the baby’s cry. The police that make us proud, the police we want,” Ritondo wrote on Twitter.
