A Malian woman who broke a world record for giving birth to nine babies at the same time has revealed that she changes 100 nappies a day.
Halima Cisse, from Mali, completed her world record pregnancy five months ago but says that her new children are “doing well.”
When Cisse was pregnant, it was thought that she was carrying seven babies, however, she gave birth to nonuplets after she was flown from Mali to Morocco for a C-section in May.
“Giving birth to one child is hard enough but having nine is unimaginable. It’s astonishing the amount of work that is involved in looking after them. I’m grateful to the medical team that are doing all the hard work and the Government of Mali for funding this,” Cisse told Daily Mail.

The boys are named – Oumar, Elhadji, Bah and Mohammed VI, and the girls are named – Adama, Oumou, Hawa, Kadidia, and Fatouma.
Halima has since revealed that she has been getting through a staggering 100 nappies per day and six litres of milk. She also said that she has needed the help of an army of nurses to provide the brood with around the clock care.
Recalling the time of giving birth, she said, “As the babies were coming out, there were so many questions going through my mind. I was very aware of what was going on and it seemed as if there was an endless stream of babies coming out of me.”
She added, “My sister was holding my hand but all I could think about was how would I look after them and who was going to help me?”
Cisse’s partner Kader Arby, 35, who was unable to travel with her due to COVID-19 restriction, arrived in Morocco on July 9.
The care bill is approaching £1 million (Rs 10.3 crore) and most of it has been taken care of by the Malian government.
