Biur Halacha – a woman who has a miscarriage also falls into this category

Piskei Teshuvot –

a. Pregnant women today must fast unless there are specific complications

b. A nursing mother may still be required to fast today due to the possible option of giving the
baby formula

c. The counting of the seventy-two hours for a yoledet begin from the actual time of birth.
Some are stringent if the seventy-two hours end shortly after the beginning of the fast not
to allow eating even at the start of Yom Kippur, but many are lenient

3. One who is ill

Shulchan Aruch –

A) if the doctor says he must eat, even if the patient disagrees we rule like the doctor
B) if the patient says he needs to eat, even if the doctor disagrees we rule like the patient

Mishna Berura – a sick person may not be stringent and fast when he is supposed to eat

Biur Halacha – one should preferably consult with religious doctors if possible as it is uncertain
whether non-religious doctors are trustworthy in this regard

Eating less than shiurim

Shulchan Aruch – if possible, one who eats on Yom Kippur should eat small amounts, a little at a
time. For a solid, this is less than 2/3 of an egg, and for liquids, it is the amount of liquid one can
hold in one cheek. If this is not sufficient, they may eat however much is necessary

Mishna Berura – one should ideally wait an interval of nine minutes in between sessions of eating,
but if needed one may wait less
