For mothers who are exclusively breastfeeding
(infants aged less than 6 months), mothers should postpone fasting or not
fasting. Islam provides relief for nursing mothers not to fast during Ramadan.
For the period of exclusive breastfeeding, breast milk is the only intake of
fluids and nutrients for infants. At this time, maternal metabolism working
diligently to continue to produce milk with a complete composition.
But for breastfeeding mothers who want to remain
abstinent, you must have a strong intention. Breastfeeding mothers will be
smoother if the mother breast-feeding diligently. In principle, the more frequent
breast sucked by the baby, the milk production will more and more. If you
choose to do it diligently feeding and fasting, the milk will remain smooth.
Likewise with working mothers. Breastfeeding flushed activities should be performed as usual.
Breastfeeding refers to the principle of demand and supply. That is, the more
milk out, the more milk will be produced. Indeed, if a nursing mother who used
to stop squeeze activities
during the month of fasting, the milk produced can be reduced. Reduced milk
production was not caused by fast activity but because it reduces the flushing
activities.
In order for the mother to stay healthy during fasting
and can still breastfeed her son well, keep eating three meals a day, ie after
Maghrib prayers, Tarawih, and when the meal. Not quantity, but make sure the
quality of food for nutritional balance as well as breaking and drink before
bed. For nursing mothers, it takes about 700 extra calories than usual and
needs 500 calories obtained from food intake. Keep your food intake balanced
nutrition for your baby's health. Eating a meal would produce useful energy for our activities that day.The composition of foods with balanced nutrition will
generate good nutrients for children.
Rest for a moment, whether by sleeping or just
relaxing calm the mind. Breastfeeding mothers need to know, that the more
frequent breast sucked by the baby, the milk production will more and more. So,
if during fasting remain diligent nursing mothers, breast milk will remain
smooth. Mother worship should remain calm and confident to continue
breastfeeding, do not worry about milk will be reduced, because anxiety will
only inhibit the hormone Oxytocin release of breast milk, so it would seem as
if the mother's breast milk is reduced. Remember that breastfeeding was too religious.
Finally, consume honey, dates
and Habatussauda when breaking the fast and when the meal. By drinking honey,
dates and Seed, the quantity and quality of breast milk is expected to stay
awake, because honey, dates and Seed is a natural vitamin and complete
composition.
