Grief &breastfeeding: I am so sorry about your loss. Stress can reduce your milk production but you will not dry up and your milk during this time will not harm your baby. Continue your routine and if baby does not get enough milk at certain feedings, he will get hungry sooner and nurse again. This is good because the more often he will empty your breasts, your brain gets the message that you need to produce more milk.
