The answer

It is permissible to break the fast in Ramadan due to illness or breastfeeding if fasting affects the mother or the infant. No expiation is required for delaying the make-up fast if there is a valid excuse, such as fear for the pregnancy. The make-up fast must be performed after the excuse is removed, and it is not permissible to delay it until the next Ramadan begins. Feeding a poor person for each day is obligatory if the fast was broken solely out of fear for the infant.
