Breastfeeding

Assalamu alaiqum wa rahamatullah

Does breastfeeding invalidate wudhu? Also how about changing baby's nappy?

Masha'Allah the forum is really very helpful.

I pray Allah puts  barakah (blessings) in every one's efforts in the forum !

No, breastefeeding of course does not break wudu.  The things that break wudu, I put them in the post in the New Muslims Support Group section of the forum, they're the things that break wudu only.

Changing baby's nappy does not break wudu either.  According to some scholars, touching one's private part (the front one) breaks the wudu, although the stronger opinion is that it does not due to other hadith of the Prophet that it is only a part of one's body.  However, according to the opinion that it does break wudu, some of those view holders still said that chaning the baby's nappy is included in breaking wudu, Allah knows best.
