Ep. 5 - Let's Talk Oxytocin!

This episode is all about the wonderful hormone, oxytocin!!

Oxytocin plays such a key role in so many elements of our life but today I focus on its involvement when it comes to our reproductive lives and feeding our babies.

I talk through some of the biology and neurology of oxytocin for breastfeeding including how our autonomic nervous system controls its release, the importance of oxytocin in the early days of learning to feed our babies and I explore ways in which we can prioritise the flow of oxytocin beyond the birth, when it comes to our environment, connection with others and seeking the right support.

Oxytocin Flow = Milk Flow!
