Question
I gave birth four months ago and I am partially nursing; the rest of the time the baby eats substitutes. He can basically eat everything from the substitutes. Do I need to fast on the Tenth of Tevet?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
A nursing woman is not required to fast on the Tenth of Tevet, as well as on other rabbinic fasts. This applies even if the nursing is partial.
