New research links postnatal depression to a disrupted oxytocin response during breastfeeding

Studies show that when mums talk about their baby’s thoughts and feelings, it boosts the baby’s oxytocin levels. Mums with postnatal depression are less likely to do this, showing the importance of mental health support for mothers. Let’s nurture both mums and babies for brighter futures! 🌟
