The woman proceeded to breastfeed the baby
The woman in China has been dubbed 'godly' and the 'most beautiful
mother' for nursing an abandoned baby girl who had been discovered
crying on the street.
According to the People's Daily Online, the unnamed mother, who is
reported to be 26 years old, volunteered to breastfeed the child who is
thought to have been just a few days old.
The newborn was first discovered by a passerby on a street at
Beiwei village in Xianyang city, north-west China's Shaanxi province, on
May 11.
According to the report, a woman named Wei, who worked at a local
property company, saw a storage box outside her company at around 8am
last Wednesday.
At first she thought it was just rubbish and did not investigate
further. However before long, Wei heard a baby crying and then she
realised that it was coming from the storage box.
The crying child attracted some passersby, some opened the box and
found the baby girl wrapped in bedding with around half a bag of milk
and 100 yuan (£10).
The baby seemed unharmed.
Some onlookers pulled the baby from out of the sun and looked
around for some water for her. They realised that the child was hungry.
Then the woman who happened to be a new mother, carefully put the
baby in his arms, sat down in the corner and breastfed the child to give
her some much needed milk and to stop her from crying.
Xianyang City Public Security Bureau said police arrived at the
scene to see the child lying quietly in the young mother's arms with
many passersby stuffing money in the baby's sleeves.
According to social welfare workers in Xianyang City, the baby has
suspected cerebal palsy and possibly other conditions that will require
further examinations.
The story has gained a lot of attention and comments from people online, who hailed the woman as the 'most beautiful mother'.
On news site 163.com people have been praising the mother for her actions.
'Sui feng qu envy' said: 'She is indeed the most beautiful mother'.
While 'Mo lu yi wang' wrote: 'Praise this mother'.
However 'Chao xiao wu mao zhi shang' commented: '[She] is kind, but her behaviour is not appropriate.
'Breastfeeding can carry several diseases. Had the
baby been abandoned due to a serious infectious disease, then this
mother and her child would be exposed to the disease too'.
The child has been taken to the Xianyang City Social Welfare institute.
