Expert Opinion: Dr. Malie Coyne
“The release of oxytocin in both mother and baby is one of the main psychological benefits of breastfeeding”
“Close skin-to-skin body contact, post-natally and beyond, significantly improves the physical and mental health and wellbeing for both mother and baby. Oxytocin acts like a fertiliser for their growing brain, helping them to be happier and more confident as they grow older.”
“It also naturally helps to build the attachment bond and ensures plenty of mother and baby time”
