Ramadan is a beautiful time for family and reflection. However, for mothers and young children, fasting in the UAE heat requires a bit of extra planning. At Millennium Hospital, your trusted women’s and children’s hospital in Mussafah, we want to ensure your family stays energized and hydrated this holy month.
Fasting changes your body’s routine. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition like diabetes, it is vital to speak with a women’s and children’s specialist near Shabia 9. We can help you decide if fasting is safe for you and how to manage your medications.
Please visit our children’s hospital in Abu Dhabi or our women’s clinic immediately if you or your child experiences the following:
Our team at Shabia 9 is here to support your family’s wellness so you can focus on the spirit of the month.
Is it safe to fast while breastfeeding? It depends on your health and your baby’s age. We recommend consulting a specialist at our women’s hospital in Mussafah to ensure your milk supply and energy stay stable.
When should a child start fasting? Most children start with “half-day” fasts. If you are unsure if your child is ready, our pediatricians in Shabia 9 can provide a quick health checkup to give you peace of mind.
What are the best foods for Iftar to avoid bloating? Start with dates and water, followed by a light soup. Avoid heavy, fried foods immediately to keep your digestion smooth.
