Question
Should a woman who is fully nursing three months after giving birth fast?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
Nursing women should fast [and prepare well two days before the fast by drinking three or four liters of sweetened beverages, and even after the fast, it is recommended to drink sweetened drinks with sugar]. However, if the baby lacks milk [and needs it], or if she knows herself that the fast will harm the milk, she should drink as usual.
