Linda Nekesa, a second-time mother, joined the Weyuya mother-to-mother support group a few weeks before giving birth to her twins. Named after the Swahili word for "faster" and based in the Bunyala Central Ward in Kenya’s Navakholo sub-county since March 2022, Weyuya serves as a savings and loan group, while also providing education to mothers on important health topics. During support group sessions, led by community health volunteer Neddy Luvale for the past six years, Linda learned about early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, and correct breastfeeding positioning. Reflecting on what she had learned, she realized that she had not taken breastfeeding seriously with her first born. 

Neddy visited Linda after she delivered her twins and emphasized the importance of breastfeeding her infants. Linda made a commitment to practice what she had learned in the group sessions. A week or so later, Linda's mother-in-law visited and brought maize flour for the twins. She insisted that the babies would not thrive on breast milk alone and needed porridge to facilitate faster and healthier growth. Linda challenged her mother-in-law, explaining that she had been trained in exclusive breastfeeding, including the avoidance of water for the first six months. She vowed not to repeat the mistake she made with her firstborn, who started consuming porridge after only one month. Currently, Linda exclusively breastfeeds her twins, and they are growing well. Fortunately, Linda's mother-in-law supported her decision.
