I heard  on NPR last evening some discussion of a picture in the media of a 
police  officer with her blouse open, breastfeeding two babies after the  
disaster....it was captioned that she was breastfeeding eight babies at this  
point.? 

I haven't had time to investigate any further but I'm sure it  is out there!

CHENGDU, China - A Chinese policewoman is contributing to the country’s  
massive earthquake relief effort in a very personal way -- by breastfeeding  eight 
babies.

A newspaper in Chengdu, the capital of quake-hit Sichuan  province, devoted a 
special page to the 29-year-old woman, calling her a  “hero.”

The woman from the quake-ravaged town of Jiangyou has just had a  child 
herself, the Western Urban Daily said.

She is nursing the children  of three women who were left homeless by the 
quake and are too traumatised to  give milk, as well as five orphans, the report 
said.

The babies who lost  their parents have been put in an orphanage which does 
not have powdered milk,  it said.

An estimated 50,000 people were killed in the May 12 earthquake,  China’s wor
st natural disaster in a generation.
