Breastfeeding During Ramadan 🤍🌙

Can I fast and continue nursing?

The answer is yes, it depends on your body, your baby and wellbeing.

If you choose to fast while breastfeeding, here are some supportive tips:

✨ Hydrate generously (water, coconut water, soups, milk).
✨ Prioritize nutrient-dense foods—protein, healthy fats, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
✨ Don’t skip your pre-dawn meal —include protein + fiber to help sustain energy.
✨ Rest when possible.
✨ Monitor baby for adequate wet diapers, contentment after feeds, and normal weight gain.
✨ Watch your own body for signs of dehydration (dark urine, dizziness, headaches, fatigue).

Some parents notice little to no change in supply. Others may see a temporary dip, especially if hydration or calorie intake is low. If supply decreases, increasing fluids, calories, and frequent nursing/pumping after breaking your fast can help.

Ramadan Mubarak to all who are observing. 🌙✨

If you have a moment to support Oklahoma families with getting lactation/health support from providers dedicated to their feeding journeys please sign and share our petition. Change.org says we need 1000 to see a change and possibly win.

Covered doesn't mean accessible. BCBS OK tells families that breastfeeding support is available but many families quickly learned qualified lactation/breastfeeding/health care is nearly impossible to find because BCBS OK refuses to contract with private practice providers.

What is an IBCLC? An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is the highest-level, internationally recognized healthcare professional specializing in the clinical management of breastfeeding and human lactation. They provide expert, evidence-based care for complex issues like latching, oral restrictions, pain, low supply, navigating returning to work, and infant weight concerns. We go through a rigorous certification process. We recertify every 5 years with many hours of continuing education requirements. It doesn't stop there we support families with mental health, advocate for paid maternal leave and research human milk.
This petition is about holding profit-driven insurance payers accountable and demanding that they provide the serveries they assure members are available.

Thank you!

Boppy pillows are routinely purchased in the prenatal time.

Can I let you in a little secret…… they aren’t the most useful for breastfeeding but I do love them for lots of different uses!

Is it on your registry? How often are you reaching for yours? Share below how you use yours. 💛
