Something Interesting Found While Studying #2
Oxytocin is the hormone that stimulates milk ejection from the lactating breast. Classically, we know that this hormone is secreted due to the “suckling stimulus.” Basically, when a baby sucks on the mother’s nipple, milk gets ejected. However, the secretion of this hormone can also be stimulated solely by the mother’s sighting of an infant…
Couldn’t this information make for a good internet video? Imagine a small classroom of new parents attending a lecture about parenting. They learn this information about the hormone early on and then throughout the rest of the baby-picture-filled powerpoint the mothers are lactating everywhere. HILARIOUS, RIGHT? Right?
Maybe not…
