I recently had a call from a mother on this same issue. As we were talking about what was going on in her life, she confided that her older child had just been killed in a traffic accident, and her breastfeeding baby was hospitalized, and that she was at the end of her emotional resources. I was able to encourage her to talk to her doctor about anxiolytics that would be compatible with breastfeeding, and give her some resources for counselling to help her cope.
