>>  have help a number of mothers during Ramadan and have work a lot with
>> woman who are fasting. If seems that the fluid intake is a problem rather

>> fast lasts is very long and this is a problem. A solutions that many
>> mothers like it to either buy of the fast, (I do not know the ins and out
>> but my client tell me that some deem this as acceptable) those that do not
>> like this solution often like to catch up the fast a few days at a time in
>> the winter when the fast is very short.

>> with kind regards

>> Hello-
>> I'm interested to hear anyone's experiences assisting mothers
>> breastfeeding and fasting during Ramadan. Some my Muslim clients believe
>> their milk "goes away" while fasting. Perhaps this is somewhat true due to
>> the restricted caloric intake? It certainly seems challenging to breastfeed
>> exclusively while feeling exhausted and hungry much of the time, yet the
>> practice is nothing new. Some of you must know more about this than me.
>> Please share so I can better support these mothers.
