As fasting begins for some families, breastfeeding mothers may have questions about what this could mean for them and their babies.
Every experience is different.
Some mothers choose to fast.
Some decide to wait.
Some take it one day at a time.
Your comfort and your baby’s behavior can help you decide what works best for your family. If concerns arise, you may choose to adjust your plans.
During non-fasting hours, eating and drinking regularly may help you feel better while caring for your baby.
Your wellbeing matters too.
If you would like to talk with someone, your local La Leche League group is there to listen and support you.
