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.

The trust hormone oxytocin supports the emotional bond between mother and child and helps to ensure the survival of the human species.
