🌙 Ramadan Mubarak from Mother’s Helper 🌙

As we welcome the first day of Ramadan, we extend our warmest wishes to all families observing this sacred month of reflection, prayer, and community. May this season bring peace, renewal, and abundant blessings to your home.

For breastfeeding mothers, Ramadan can feel especially meaningful, and sometimes physically demanding. It is important to remember that Islamic guidance provides flexibility for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Your health and your baby’s well-being are a priority.

If you are exclusively breastfeeding, particularly in the first six months, many healthcare professionals advise carefully considering whether fasting is appropriate. Reduced fluid and calorie intake may affect energy levels and, in some cases, milk supply.

If you choose to fast, consider the following:

• Speak with your healthcare provider beforehand to determine what is safest for you and your baby.
• Prioritize hydration between Iftar and Suhoor.
• Focus on balanced, nutrient-dense meals that include protein, healthy fats, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
• Monitor your body and your baby closely for signs of dehydration, fatigue, or feeding changes.
• Discuss with your healthcare provider if you should break your fast if you experience concerning symptoms, your health is not meant to be compromised.

For additional medical guidance on breastfeeding and fasting during Ramadan, you can review this resource from Hamad Medical Corporation:
https://hamad.qa/EN/your%20health/Ramadan%20Health/Health%20Information/Pages/Breastfeeding-and-Pregnancy.aspx

Ramadan is a month of mercy and grace. There is no guilt in caring for your body while you care for your child.

Mother’s Helper is here to support you through every stage of motherhood, including seasons of spiritual observance. If you have questions about breastfeeding support during Ramadan, please reach out.

Wishing you a peaceful and blessed month ahead. 🌙

Worried about milk supply?

If you have any of these markers, getting support early can really help:
• Thyroid conditions
• Diabetes
• Breast surgery history
• Expecting multiples

Sometimes using a stronger rental pump designed to help establish supply at home can make a big difference in those early weeks. Pair that with good fl**ge fit, a simple feeding plan, and steady emotional support, and you’re already on the right path.

At Mother’s Helper, Lin can help you by checking your fl**ge fit, and talk through pump options so you feel confident and supported.

💌 Message us anytime with questions. You deserve gentle, encouraging care every step of the way.

Tag a postpartum mama to remind her what a wonderful job she is doing! 💗

Having a baby is one of life’s most beautiful and life-changing experiences, but it can also feel overwhelming. That’s where a doula makes all the difference.

A doula provides emotional, physical, and educational support before, during, and after birth. From helping you feel confident in your birth plan, to offering comfort techniques during labor, to guiding you through those early newborn days, a doula ensures you never feel alone in the process.

Families who work with a doula often experience:
• More confidence going into birth
• Lower stress and anxiety
• Greater partner involvement
• Smoother postpartum transitions
• Extra rest and reassurance in the newborn stage

With over 30 years of experience, Lin Cook of Mother’s Helper brings calm, wisdom, and compassionate care to every family she serves. Her heart for supporting parents shines through in every birth she attends and every late-night postpartum visit. Whether you’re preparing for delivery or simply need a good night’s sleep after baby arrives, Lin is there to help you feel supported, empowered, and cared for.

If you’re expecting, or know someone who is, now is the time to connect.
