My POV breastfeeding during Ramadan

Personally I do not fast when breastfeeding during Ramadan. I have tried fasting for two days and it affected my milk supply (im fully breastfed my baby)

Since breastfeeding is important to me and my babies, l put this first as breastfeeding mums are not obligated to fast.

Don't forget we get so much barakah for breastfeeding. Every drop of milk brings reward

and rewards are multiplied during Ramadan. So don't be too hard on yourself if you can't fast.

lf you’re fasting, you need to make sure your baby is getting enough mik. Signs that they are not getting enough are:

1. Baby seems discontent or dissatisfied after feeding

2. Baby has fewer wet and dirty nappies than usual

3. Baby has lost weight or isn't putting on enough weight

4. Baby seems unsettled

You should also look out for signs of dehydration in yourself! 👇🏻

1. Feeling very thirsty

2. Feeling dizzy or light-headed

3. Dark urine

4. Having a dry mouth, lips and eyes

5. Having a headache

Do not care about what others think, put yourself and your baby first 😊 you know what best for both of you.

Hope you all have a blessed Ramadan! 🌙
