The only way breast milk could cause death to your newborn is if you had some kind of transmissible, fatal disease like HIV that can be passed through it. In many places in the world, it's actually SAFER to breastfeed than bottle feed a baby, because the water supply used to dilute formula is often contaminated with harmful pathogens, while normal milk is virtually sterile.

You should also pay attention to things you ingest, like foods, drink, or drugs, any of which can be passed on to the baby in your milk. That's why women taking certain kinds of drugs are advised not to breastfeed (like antipsychotics or antidepressants, for example).

You should take care of the position of the baby while breast-feeding. Baby should be upright in your arms during feeding & not lying down position.
In lying down position milk can go to Trachea (wind-pipe) instead of going to usual Esophagus (food-pipe).
Apart from position of the baby, ofcourse, the quality of your breast-milk matters, which depends on what you eat or drink.

Take Care..

anything you eat, drink or do (drugs) will be passed on to your breast milk. so, yes you can hurt your baby if you don't take care of yourself. your doctor knows what medicines are safe to take while breastfeeding if you are sick and need them.
