Bravo! Flight attendant breastfeeds passenger’s baby midflight
A flight attendant went out of her way to help a mom who ran out of formula for her infant, on Tuesday, during a domestic Philippine Airlines flight.
Patrisha Organo, a 24-year-old flight attendant and first-time mom, offered to breastfeed the stranger’s baby.
“I heard an infant’s cry, a cry that will make you want to do anything to help,” Organo wrote in a Facebook post along with a photo of her cradling the child.
“I approached the mother and asked if everything’s okay, I tried to tell her to feed her hungry child.
Teary-eyed, she told me that she ran out of formula milk. Passengers started looking and staring at the tiny, fragile crying infant.
I felt a pinch in my heart,” she continued.
“There’s no formula milk onboard. I thought to myself, there’s only one thing I could offer and that’s my own milk. And so I offered.
The baby started rooting, she was so hungry,” Organo wrote.
“I saw the relief on her mother’s eyes. I continued to feed the baby until she fell asleep. I escorted her back to her seat and just before I left, the mother sincerely thanked me,” she added.
Organo, who describes herself as a breastfeeding advocate, has a 9-month-old baby at home.
