<li>Some poskim say that if a woman wants to eat before davening, she should say a short prayer that includes praise of Hashem, a request to Hashem, and thanks to Hashem and then eat. It is preferable for her to also say the first paragraph of shema before
eating. This solution works even if she is later going to daven a regular davening afterwards.<sup class="reference"><a href="https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-18">[18]</a></sup></li></ol>

<li>On Shabbat, some poskim write that a married woman who didn't daven yet and is permitted to eat, such as in the case above, if her husband has not davened yet, some poskim hold that she may eat without reciting Kiddush. Once she davened certainly she needs
to recite Kiddush before eating. However, an unmarried woman who didn't daven yet and is permitted to eat, such as in the case above, must recite Kiddush before eating.<sup class="reference"><a href="https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-19">[19]</a></sup></li><li>Sephardi poskim hold that women may not eat before Kiddush and if she usually davens she may drink coffee or tea before davening; a mother who is nursing may rely on those who say it is permitted for women to eat without Kiddush during the day.<sup class="reference"><a href="https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-20">[20]</a></sup></li></ol>
