New Zealand parliament speaker feeds baby during debate, wins heart

Wellington, Aug 22: The speaker of New Zealand's parliament, Trevor Mallard, cradling and bottle-feeding a lawmaker's baby during a debate has gone viral.

Mallard tweeted pictures of himself nursing the infant as he presided over the debate.

"Normally the Speaker's chair is only used by Presiding Officers but today a VIP took the chair with me," he wrote.

In 2017, an Australian Senator has set the bar for multi-tasking women by moving a motion in Parliament while breastfeeding her baby.

Greens senator Larissa Waters made history when she became the first woman to breastfeed inside the Federal Parliament. She did it again, feeding her 14-week old baby Alia Joy while moving a motion in the Senate in Canberra.
