If you eat the wrong thing or something.

No, of course not. Do you ever worry that your blood could go bad inside your body? Do you have regular blood transfusions if you haven't bled recently? Milk is produced out of blood, so if the blood can't go bad, neither can the milk--even if baby hasn't nursed for a week, even if you have a breast infection, even if *anything*. It will *not* curdle. And it also isn't sterile--it's full of antibodies and other live cells. Its non-sterility is one of the things that is best for your baby!! And stress won't ruin your milk, either. No matter how much stress you are under, you will continue to produce milk, but *some* mothers will have trouble releasing the milk under stress.

Nope, it's fresh from the container, your body whips it right up on demand just like some sort of milk-on-tap.
What you eat can very slightly flavor your milk though. Baby usually tolerates everything just fine except if you're drinking pots of coffee. However, my third baby seemed to be bothered when I ate horseradish, so I quit eating it. But it's not that the milk was "bad", it's that he didn't like the flavor and cried and pulled away from the breast after I had eaten it.

I don't believe that your milk can spoil or go bad based on what you eat. However I have heard that what you eat i.e. spicy, sour or salty foods will affect the taste a bit. Also your milk is stored at body temperature always and is pretty much made on an as is need for your baby. So simply put NO.

Breast milk can go down and won't be strong enough for a bay to have if you are under stress. When you are under stress you milk get broken down quiet alot and the baby doesn't get the nornishment that it should and some times mothers have to give a bottle as a subsitute instead of breast.

No, as long as it's in your body it is sterile. If you eat something with a strong flavor it can chance the taste of your milk, but it won't make it "bad". If you eat a lot of spicy, strong flavors while you're pregnant the baby will be used to the taste (via amniotic fluid) and may not mind it in the breastmilk. Good thing I ate all those buffalo wings when I was PG. LOL

You mean like spoil? No...it can't spoil.
Occasionally if mom eats something that disagrees with baby then baby might not nurse as much.
Sometimes if mom has a plugged duct or mastitis there can be a duct or two that put out kind of thick looking stuff because of the infection, but it won't hurt baby.

It can if you have an infection such as a uterus infection and it spreads to your breast milk.
