Question
My wife is nursing a baby about 6 months old. Does she need to fast, or can she drink in measured amounts?
Answer
Hello
A nursing woman is required to fast.
It is important to ensure sufficient hydration in the two days leading up to the fast and to try to rest as much as possible during the fast in a cool place.
Under normal circumstances, the fast will not affect breastfeeding or the baby's nutrition.
