Cissé said. She taught a three-hour class with the sleeping baby secured to her back. “In my native Mali, we used sheets and other pieces of fabric to securely carry babies on our backs. My natural instinct was to find a way to secure the baby and I was standing next to a rack with a clean lab coat.”

“Towards the end of the class, the baby woke up and I took him off my back and I fed him. He did not cry once,”

Later that day Twitter user @AnnaKhadejah, who is the professor’s daughter, tweeted a picture of her mother, Dr. Ramata Sissoko Cisse – in class with the baby on her back. And she wrote, “My mom is my role model.” “Her student couldn’t find a babysitter today & being the true African mother that she is, taught a Three-hour class with the baby on her back & fed him.”
