A nursing mother must fast unless she fears harm for herself or her child. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pray Witr with "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High," "Say: O disbelievers," and "Say: He is Allah, the One." After finishing, he would say, "Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy," three times.
