Salma Hayek. Salma, 42, said: "The baby was perfectly healthy, but the mother didn't have milk. He was very hungry. I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk that I was pumping, so I breast-fed the baby. You should have seen his eyes. When he felt the nourishment, he immediately stopped crying." © Albert L. Ortega / PR PhotosThe mother-of-one volunteered to nurse the child on a recent trip to Sierra Leone, when the baby's mother stopped producing milk.Salma, 42, said: "The baby was perfectly healthy, but the mother didn't have milk. He was very hungry. I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk that I was pumping, so I breast-fed the baby. You should have seen his eyes. When he felt the nourishment, he immediately stopped crying."The actress, who claims older mothers have more energy, has been slowly returning to work since having one-year-old Valentina. She said: "There was a lot of crying on both sides because I'm not used to separating from her. I guess I have to start separating a little bit. I'm still with her all the time. She's such a happy baby."Alongside the running of her two production companies, Hayek will appear in six-episodes of NBC's '30 Rock'. The actress also wants to do some movies in 2009, but isn't keen on the "dark" roles she's being offered.She said: "I'm having a hard time picking because I don't want to do violent things, I don't want to do things that are too dark, and I'm getting those offers. I'm being very picky."

One more reason to love Salma! Good for her for helping out another mom and baby.

I'm still breastfeeding my one year old and three year old and love it. It really is one of the best things you can do for your baby. It's so nice to see a gorgeous, talented celebrity doing the right thing.
