Description

Oxytocin, or the â€˜hormone of health and lifeâ€™, is a hugely important substance for pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding â€“ working in a womanâ€™s body and brain to make changes during pregnancy, optimise labour, increase milk production and support bonding.

Research has shown that we can encourage the bodyâ€™s oxytocin system by supporting mothersâ€™ wellbeing through birth practices and postnatal care.

We also now know that oxytocin is present in everyone, of any age, directing a whole system of effects that have consequences for family life, including bonding, stress reduction and social interaction. InÂ Why Oxytocin MattersÂ Kerstin UvnÃ¤s Moberg, a leading oxytocin researcher, shows how a better understanding of our biology can be immensely helpful for new parents and those who work to support families.
