I'm breastfeeding a 9 mnth old (wt:7.8kg). ramadan are here & i want to fast. my weight is 43 kg and height is 165 cm. is it advisable for me to fast?

No, it's not: I know the fasting is important to your religion, but it will quite certainly affect the quantity and quality of your milk supply, to the point where it may not be possible to maintain it if you fast during daylight hours. I don't know the rules of your fasting, but you possible could get away with just liquids if they allow that by using protein drinks and fluids. Please consider affect on baby.
