Enhanced Bonding

Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding fosters a unique bond between the lactating parent and the infant, providing comfort, security and emotional connection. Oxytocin produces a peaceful, nurturing feeling that allows you to relax and focus on your child.

While breastfeeding/chestfeeding you are engaging in skin-to-skin contact which is known to decrease anxiety, promote a sense of calming and increase overall happiness. It also stabilizes baby’s temperature, heart rate, and even breathing. All these benefits create a sense of trust and nourishment, which are the building blocks to a strong bond.
