Breastfeeding

I'm going through a really emotional time right now and I'm a week away from my due date. I've heard that stress can cause you to not produce breast milk, has anyone dealt with this? I'm really scared I won't be able to make some for my baby and I was planning on exclusively breast feeding

It will be okay. I was so stressed with my second son, he was in nicu for over a month and I was going bonkers being away fro m my oldest. But I still managed to produce milk like crazy. Your body will do what it needs and you will be fine.

You should be fine. After your baby is born you get a rush of  hormones. And if you are persistent with breastfeeding then you should be ok :) good luck. And try not to stress! :)
