It's completely natural for you to be so thoughtful with your first baby. I understand your question.
There are different views among Islamic scholars on whether nursing breaks ablution. The generally accepted view is:
Breast milk (human milk) is not considered something that breaks ablution. This is because ablution-breaking situations usually involve impurities from the body (urine, stool, gas, blood) or something arising from specific stimulation. Milk flowing during nursing doesn't fall into these categories.
However, in some schools of thought (such as the Hanafi school), if blood comes from the breast while nursing or if other discharge comes from the mother's body, ablution could be broken. Apart from that, milk alone doesn't break ablution.
Important note: This is general information sharing. For a definitive Islamic ruling, I'd recommend consulting with a religious scholar or imam.
You can ask me anything else about your baby.
