Impression
Babies are utterly dependant on
their mothers. The bond between
mother and child is the basis for
the healthy development of the
newborn. The key to unconditional
care is maternal affection. | Adaption
The maternal instinct is decisive for
the survival of the child. Therefore,
the baby has a powerful ally. While
breastfeeding, the mother’s body
produces the hormone oxytocin.
This chemical messenger delivers
a sensation of trust, relief and assurance
straight to the mother’s brain. | Selection
The trust hormone oxytocin
supports the emotional bond
between mother and child and
helps to ensure the survival of
the human species. |
