Question
Is it permissible for a woman who needs to eat non-kosher food due to a life-threatening situation to nurse an infant?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
A woman who eats non-kosher food, even if she eats it permissibly, should not nurse.
Because it causes a dulling of the heart and negative traits in the infant.
