Subject: how should a nursing mother prepare to fast on Yom Kippur?

I have a doula client who gave birth a week ago and is planning to fast on
Yom Kippur.  She intends to stay in bed all day with her nursling to
conserve energy, but asked me whether there was anything she could eat or
drink before the fast to make it easier on her.  Someone suggesting loading
up on PowerAde (a sports drink).  Any other ideas?

Happy New Year to those of you who celebrate.

Thanks,
