Is breast milk poisonous when a pregnant woman is angry?

The mother's diet should be paid special attention to, because her breast milk will directly affect the baby's health. However, even if diet is controlled, it is not easy for some mothers to control their emotions. They are prone to emotional instability and anger. So parents will worry that if the mother’s mood changes, such as anger, will it affect breast milk? Below we will answer the question: Will a mother’s anger make her breast milk toxic?

1. First of all, it is certain that a mother’s emotional fluctuations during breastfeeding will indeed affect the quality of milk. According to modern Western medicine, lactation is carried out under a complex neuroendocrine system. If the mother is under too much stress, is irritable, sad, or extremely happy or sad, it may affect the activity of the pituitary gland through the cerebral cortex, thereby inhibiting the secretion of prolactin and reducing milk production. So it is necessary for mother to be in a good mood.

2. As for the secretion of toxic substances, it is pure nonsense and a fabricated story. Mothers don't need to worry about it. However, the quality of breast milk is indeed closely related to the mother's mood.

3. Breast milk secretion decreases or stops

The emotional fluctuations of breastfeeding mothers will not only affect the endocrine system, but also have a certain impact on the activity of the cerebral cortex and the qi and blood in the body. These changes will directly lead to stagnation of Qi and blood in the body and a decrease in prolactin secretion. Therefore, after a breastfeeding mother experiences a major emotional fluctuation, the secretion of breast milk may decrease, change color, or even stop.

4. Causes the baby's heart rate to increase, blood pressure to rise, etc.

When a mother is angry, a large amount of hormones secreted in her body will enter the baby's body through breast milk, and will also cause the baby to have reactions such as increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and irritability. The milk at this time is what people call "poisonous milk".

5. When a breastfeeding mother gets angry, the quality of her breast milk will indeed decline, but it will not "poison the baby" as alarmist claims. If the baby is hungry at this time,

Mothers can still breastfeed their babies with confidence, there is no need to let the babies go hungry. But mothers still need to be careful and not indulge in their negative emotions recklessly just because the "toxic milk" is fake. The bodies of women who are breastfeeding after childbirth have not fully recovered. If they are in negative emotions such as sadness, anxiety or even anger for a long time, it will not only affect their own physical recovery; but if the baby drinks such low-quality breast milk for a long time, the development of various important organs in the body, disease resistance and digestion ability will be affected, and in severe cases it may even lead to growth retardation!
