Can being angry during lactation make breast milk "toxic"? After consulting some information, there is a saying.
The book "The Next Milk Book" mentioned that experts reminded that breastfeeding mothers who breast-feed their babies when they are angry or just angry may cause their babies to inhale milk with "toxins".
"Sitting on the Moon for Eating" mentioned that when people are in a state of sadness, anxiety, anger, etc. Neuroendocrine disorder will directly affect the physiological function of the body, and the body will produce a large number of substances harmful to health.
In the same way, when a mother is angry during lactation, she will secrete harmful substances, which will affect the baby's health through milk, leading to the decline of the baby's immune ability, digestive function and developmental retardation.
In fact, doctors with clinical experience have confirmed that the composition of milk secreted by lactating mothers is relatively stable and the quality will not change greatly. Of course not "toxic".
Professor Song, chief physician and doctoral supervisor of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, pointed out that breast milk will produce toxins after breast-feeding mothers get angry, which is a rumor and has no scientific basis.
Jiang Mei, director of nursing department and head nurse of Beijing Maternity Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that human beings are only one kind of mammals, and wild mammals will definitely have emotional changes. Animals will not secrete toxic milk in such a harsh living environment, and neither will humans.
The incidence of postpartum depression in China is 15%-30%. At present, there is no research evidence that mothers will produce toxins because of mood swings.
But if the mother is in a bad mood, she will pass on the bad mood to the baby, and the baby will feel anxious and affect her appetite. If the baby has a poor appetite, it will reduce the amount of milk and affect the physical development.
Mother's anger will not produce toxic milk, but it will indirectly affect the baby's health, and there is a more serious problem that will also affect the baby's development.
Influence of Anger on Breast Milk Although Anger has little influence on the quality of breast milk, it may lead to lack of milk, milk return or mastitis.
:: Decreased breast milk
Breast milk secretion is mainly the role of prolactin, and breast milk excretion is mainly the role of oxytocin. When mother is angry, it will also affect the cerebral cortex, inhibit prolactin secretion, and lead to decreased milk.
The secretion of breast milk also needs the participation of estrogen, progesterone, growth hormone, thyroxine, adrenocortical hormone, insulin and other hormones. If the mother is angry, it will affect the secretion of hormones in the body, leading to direct disharmony of hormones, thus affecting milk secretion.

* easy to get mastitis
When angry, qi and blood are blocked and blood flow slows down, which easily leads to milk deposition and nodules. If you don't pay attention to dredging, it will lead to mastitis. If mastitis is serious, you need to stop breastfeeding your child. When mastitis occurs, it is also difficult for babies to suck milk. If you are too small and lack strength, it is easy to cry because you are too tired.
* Affect the mother's physical condition.
It not only affects the secretion and flow of breast milk, but also affects the health of breast-fed mothers.

These two hormones can make people's heart beat faster, blood vessels contract and blood pressure rise, which is harmful to health.
