Oxytocin is known as a ‘love’ and ‘forget oneself’ hormone because of its involvement with sexual activity, orgasm, birth and breastfeeding.

➜ Oxytocin initiates the rhythmic pressure waves and moves birthing forward. It reaches its peak levels as the baby’s head emerges and stays high during the Golden Hour.

➜ It’s a shy hormone and needs an intimate, private and undisturbed environment.

➜ Sex, clitoral stimulation, orgasms, nipple stimulation, kissing, hugging, massage, dim lights, feeling of love etc., will flood your body with natural oxytocin.

➜ After birth it promotes a strong bond between you and your baby, and allows successful breastfeeding.

➜ High levels of oxytocin as the baby is breastfeeding help you birth the placenta and prevent postpartum hemorrhage.
