The answer

Ibn 'Abbas's narration: "The pregnant and breastfeeding women break their fast... etc." It was narrated by 'Abd al-Razzaq in Al-Musannaf from Al-Thawri, and from Ibn Jurayj, from 'Ata, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: "The pregnant and breastfeeding women break their fast in Ramadan, and they make up the days they missed by fasting, and they do not feed." Scholars have not definitively ruled this chain of narration as authentic or weak, but it appears sound as its narrators are trustworthy, and although Ibn Jurayj was a mudallis (one who conceals the identity of his shaykh or the fact that he did not directly hear from him), Sufyan al-Thawri corroborated his narration.
