The March of Dimes has issued a press release with information for Pregnant
and Breastfeeding mothers. The breastfeeding info is awful:

    Breastfeeding (source: LaLeche League International)
    Stress may affect a breastfeeding woman's milk supply. However
breastfeeding itself can help to reduce stress. During breastfeeding, the
body
also releases hormones that are calming. Lactating women should do their
best
to make breastfeeding time as relaxed as possible under the circumstances.
In
the rare instance it becomes impossible to continue to breastfeed, mothers
may
consider weaning their baby. However, it is important to do this as slowly
as
possible for the mother and her baby's health. Mothers should hold and
cuddle
their babies as much as possible to reduce the baby's stress.
Note:  Pre-prepared formula is recommended because of concerns about water
safety.
