No, there is no evidence that Amina (Mohammed's mother) ever personally breast-fed her son.

His first wet-nurse was a slave named Thuwayba, who belonged to his uncle Abu Lahab. She only fed him for a few days, while the family looked around for a more permanent arrangement.

He was then suckled by a paid foster-mother, Halima, from the Saad tribe. She cared for him for about five years, and it is thought that he only saw his mother twice in that time.
