When all is well there is no need to rush the birth of the placenta with synthetic oxytocin which is typically administered intravenously to help the uterus contract and expel the placenta.

➜ After birth natural oxytocin promotes intense attachment and bonding 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.
