Most religions encourage fasting as part of the ritual of some of the major holidays. For those of the Jewish faith, fasting happens during Yom Kippur. Muslims traditionally fast during Ramadan. Some Christians fast for Lent. But for pregnant women and moms who are breastfeeding, their health and that of their babies are at stake. But prolonged fasting or starvation while breastfeeding should be avoided because it can decrease milk quantity, which over time can slow your baby’s weight gain. What's more, it’s not a good idea to fast immediately after giving birth, while Mom and baby are still recovering from delivery and establishing maternal milk supply. Following a healthy breastfeeding diet is crucial, so fasting for any extended period of time isn't good for you or your baby. The manuscript is presenting the eating habits and dietary consumption in the muslim women under fasting.
