Doctor's answer:
Hello, when you're feeling down, breast milk is not toxic. It's important to maintain a positive mood during breastfeeding. During this period, it's essential to maintain a high-quality diet, pay attention to lifestyle adjustments, and ensure adequate sleep. However, some young mothers overlook their mental state while breastfeeding. They often nurse their babies while arguing, which is not advisable. When a person is angry, they often secrete toxins, and if the baby ingests this milk, it can lead to poisoning. In such cases, breastfeeding should be avoided immediately. At least wait for half a day or a full day, and express some milk first. Then, wipe the nipple clean with a clean cloth before breastfeeding again.
