your reason may NOT be a valid shara’ii reason to skip fasting in the month of Ramadhan unless told by a doctor to do so due to baby’s absolute need to have breast milk. women through out the the ages since the inception of Islam have been breast-feeding their children and fasting at the same time. you must have a valid need in sharia to skip obligatory fast.

How is it not a valid reason??? If she fasts and does not eat all day she will not produce any milk. Her supply will go down. Baby will not get any milk!!! I see that as a very good reason.

If I skip a meal, I notice a huge drop in my supply. I am not fasting this year.
