It’s funny, I started this blog so I could just put up transcriptions of lectures I listen to, and my Fasting while Pregnant post seems to be the most popular, by far 
This Ramadan I am not pregnant, but I will be nursing a 9 month old inshaAllah. Khadeejah is different from her big brother. She does not put away milk like that little boy did So I’m praying that inshaAllah it will be a little easier.
I included some fataawa in my old posts on fasting while pregnant which also mention fasting while nursing.
One thing is for sure : we definitely have to try. We can’t just throw our hands up and go, “Oh, I’m nursing/pregnant! I can just skip the fasts.” Give it a try ast least. If it works for you, alhamdulillah And if it doesn’t work, make them up whenever you’re able to.
Some women are able to do it easily. A few friends of mine come to mind MashaAllah that’s terrific for them! I was surprised when they told me (more…)
