Oxytocin is also referred to as the “Love hormone” or “The attachment hormone” because of its role in bonding.
Oxytocin hormone ensures an easy birth by providing uterine contractions that accelerate the birth process during birth, and after birth, it ensures the contraction of the milk ducts in the breasts and ensures that the breast milk reaches the nipple.
