spoke of the incident recently and Nightline aired video of the feeding. "The baby was perfectly healthy, but the mother didn't have milk. He was very hungry. I was weaning 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."

Hayek's own daughter Valentina turned one just before she took the trip.
