Breastmilk getting affected by mood?

Shahad • FT Mama to my sunshine boy 💙 Hamad 💙

Question mamas, is it possible for my milk to go bad or maybe not settle well in baby’s tummy if I was really upset about something 10 minutes before nursing? My baby vomited the entire feeding of around 8 minutes almost immediately and refused to drink again or even try. We heated some refrigerated breastmilk to give him and he’s drinking no problem. This milk is from before I got upset.

Side note:

Baby’s father and I are separated. He’s a danger to us, into drugs and in the middle of hearings and about to be sentenced. Huge egomaniac who hadn’t even apologized once for putting us in an awful position, hasn’t even apologized to his own family. Just found out he had gotten his hands on a photo of my son when he was two days old and posted it on a public account. I can’t begin to explain how much it killed me. He hasn’t been a part of his life since I was 9 weeks pregnant. He’s been rude, verbally abusive, unapologetic about being in and out of prison, and he hasn’t asked about son, paid a single penny, or seen him. I just felt enraged that he had the audacity to not only proclaim that he’s his son, but to post it on a public page when I’ve been so protective of him.
