M5S woman first MP to breastfeed in Italy parliament

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 7 - An MP from the populist 5-Star Movement (M5S) on Wednesday became the first woman to breastfeed her newborn baby in the Lower House.
    Gilda Sportiello sat down with her baby boy in the higher benches, took part in a vote on public administration, and then started to breastfeed him to unanimous applause.
    The boy, who was not named by reporters, wore a little cap to protect his delicate head from the high air conditioning in the Montecitorio building.
    He was very calm during the feed, after which Sportiello cuddled him.
    Some other women MPs came over to greet and congratulate her.
