Fast of Tisha B'Av for a Nursing Woman
Question
Should a woman who is nursing two months after giving birth fast on Tisha B'Av?
Answer
Shalom UvRacha,
Nursing women are required to fast and should prepare for the fast by drinking plenty beforehand. However, if as a result of the fast the baby lacks milk and needs it, she may drink as usual.
