Hi tuhkatriinu, There are a few situations where one can breaking his/her fast during Ramadan. And one of those situation is due to illness. You are allowed to break your fast if your health is not allowed you continue your fasting. Even more when you have little baby that depend on you. But you have to replace that day(s) after the Ramadan finish. It is compulsory to replace it when your health is allowed you to do fasting.

I think if one is sick then he can abstain from keeping the fast some two or three days, I have a friend here in London who has done so and she does not mind as far as she is honest with herself and has not break up her fasting very often too.
