The Buenos Aires Provincial Police, while speaking to CNN, confirmed that Ayala spoke to the hospital authorities before breastfeeding the baby.
Interestingly, the baby was recently separated from her mother. The reason for which is not known as of yet.
Following this rare gesture, Ayala is now promoted to the rank of an officer. (ANI)
