Nursing mother
Navigating through Ramadhān.
Some women who intend to fast during Ramadhān but find it very difficult due to nursing babies especially babies who can eat the whole house(lol! Just figuratively)
For those who are planning to fast while nursing babies, the following should be considered:
1. Consider taking fibre meals using sahoor
2. Protein should be included
3. Take vegetables like carrots. Avoid green leafy vegetables during suhoor
4. Take enough fluids during Suhoor. Here, I am not talking about just water. I meant electrolytes, healthy cereals like pap, tom brown etc. This is what I have used personally and it works well for me during pregnancy and post-pregnancy.
5. During Iftar, endeavour to take enough green leafy vegetables to increase your bowel movement before the next day.
It is important to understand your body and know when it has reached its limits.
