Breast milk poisoning?
⚡ Short answer: There's no such thing as "breast milk poisoning"; even when mom is sick, milk produces antibodies to protect baby, and it doesn't harm baby except in very rare medical exceptions.

This is what I wonder about most in my first year of motherhood: breast milk poisoning?

There's no medical condition called "breast milk poisoning"—this is a worry based on misunderstanding. Breast milk is a living food that updates itself based on your baby's age and needs. If you get sick, the milk doesn't spoil; actually, your body makes antibodies and they pass into your milk to protect your baby.
Only very rare situations make milk unsafe: uncontrolled, active infection in mom (like untreated brucellosis or active tuberculosis), drug use, or rare metabolic disease in baby like galactosemia. Outside these, milk doesn't harm baby or poison them.
So relax: your body is designed to make the safest food for your baby. I understand your worry—new motherhood makes us think about things we hear. Always ask when something's on your mind.
