Rebecca Suimuna, a social worker, is breastfeeding her youngest-born, who is 15 months old. She breastfed her eldest child until she was 2 and a half years old, who then stopped of her own accord just after the birth of her younger brother. “Now I no longer express my milk, because my son is also bottle-feeding. He breastfeeds for five minutes when he comes back from the nursery for comfort, but it’s no longer about feeding himself.” While she was given support for breastfeeding at work, it’s her mother who has been a huge help. “From Cameroon, she watched over whatsapp videos how I was positioning my babies to the breast, and she gave me advice. She called me every other day! The culture of breastfeeding is very strong over there.” (Magali Girardin)
