#Italian #MP #GildaSportiello has become the first politician to #breastfeed in the nation's parliament.

Sportiello, a member of the populist #Movimento5Stelle, fed her newborn baby boy during a public administration vote in the lower house on Wednesday.

The politician nursed two-month-old Federico in the higher benches of parliament and the pair were greeted with unanimous applause following the vote.
