Hao Lina was photographed breastfeeding the 4-month-old baby at the Shanxi Jinzhong Intermediate People’s Court on Sept. 23.
The baby’s mother was unavailable to nurse as she had been attending a trial on charges of fundraising fraud, illegal absorption of public deposits and concealment of crime that victimized more than 2,800 people, according to Sina News.
It was around 9 a.m. when the baby, who was left under Hao and her colleagues’ care, suddenly cried and attracted attention.

A new mother herself, Hao took the initiative to breastfeed the baby after getting permission from its mother.
“The baby wouldn’t stop crying and we were all worried… I am a new mother, I could feel how anxious the child’s mother would have been. All I thought about was to try my best and comfort the tiny baby,” she told reporters, according to Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, Hao said that she only did what was right:
“I believe every police officer would do the same. If I had been the mother, I would have hoped someone to help my baby too.”
