Does a mother crying affect breast milk?

Patient's question:

Around 7:00 PM, I cried for about an hour because I was angry. At that time, the child didn't wake up, so I didn't feed them. Around 10:00 PM, I used a breast pump to extract about 200ml of milk and discarded it. Then, I extracted another 40ml and gave it to the child to eat?

Doctor's answer:

If you get angry during breastfeeding, it may reduce milk production. It is recommended to maintain a good mood during breastfeeding, pay attention to increasing nutrition, and eat more poultry, eggs, and lean meat. Maintain a balance between meat and vegetables. Regularly use a breast pump to extract leftover milk promptly to avoid mastitis. Do not overqueeze your breasts. Maintain a good mood, exercise moderately, and enhance your physical fitness. If you feel uncomfortable, seek medical attention promptly.
