Fast of Tisha B'Av Close to Childbirth
Question
A woman within a month after childbirth, not breastfeeding, is she required to fast on Tisha B'Av?
Answer
Within a month, even on Tisha B'Av, she does not need to fast. After a month, even if she is breastfeeding, she should fast. If she sees that there is not enough food for the baby, she should start eating.
