The answer

If a breastfeeding mother fears that her milk supply will decrease, thereby harming her child, if she fasts, there is no blame upon her for delaying the make-up of until after the next Ramadan. She is only required to make up the days without expiation, because she is considered to be in the same category as a sick person.
