you are pregnant and nursing 2 children?
and fasting?
I hope you do well...
I found pregnant harder. I miscarried twice becaeu I fasted in early pregnancy.
nursing is ok- I just pump but I find I have no milk the next day. so moitze a fast I drink lots of mothers milk tea to boost up the supply.

I think I can answer my own question now, breastfeeding is definately the better one to fast, but the baby is 7 months old and has solids but he did feed from me 7 I think times today. B"H a very good fast and I also managed to get loads cooked and baked for Shabbos.

everyone says breastfeeding is harder, but at least you have the option to give bottles if necessary.


That's obviously assuming your baby would consider taking a bottle!
My 7 month old will not take a bottle from anyone and CERTAINLY not from me.

The only time this worked for me was when my first was a month old on Tisha B'Av.

it helps to drink this before and after.
or even if you just need more milk!

Both are tough. Last Tisha B'av I was pregnant and broke fast after chazos, this year I was nursing and broke the fast around 6PM. (Even though I was bottle feeding milk from the freezer after 2PM)

Both suck for me. I think nursing is worse b/c I have a baby to take care of, too. If I'm pregnant than my youngest is generally over a year old. Right now my baby doesn't take a bottle (oh how I've tried) and I got very close to passing out by 3pm todau\y. So I broke my fast. I was alone the whole day and it honestly became a safety issue at that point. I was close to dropping the baby. And vomitting.

Nursing was definitely harder for me.
