The hormones are responsible for regulating the body's systems and helping the individual to react to the environment. One of these hormones is cortisol, produced by the adrenal glands. One of its functions is to help people cope with stress and make bodily adjustments to deal with dangerous situations. For the body to function properly there must be a balance in cortisol levels, if there is very little the body "shuts down", if there is much it becomes anguish.
Cortisol is one of the hormones that plays an important role in the emotional responses of the individual. In reviewing the quality of attachment between mother and child, researchers have found that secure attachment keeps the baby in emotional balance. An insecure link, an inadequate response to the baby's needs accustoms him to a low hormonal level, which makes him apathetic or can constantly maintain stress due to the high hormonal concentration in his body resulting in distressed babies. The child is in a hormonal state that provides well-being, strives to maintain that state. Scientists are confirming that Moms have always known that their presence is important to maintain the hormonal chemistry of the baby. Not only does parenting with attachment provide a chemical balance in babies. It also helps the mother. Maternal behavior, especially breastfeeding, results in a "torrent" of the hormones prolactin and oxytocin. These hormones help women to have maternal feelings. In fact it can be said that they are the biological basis of maternal intuition. Prolactin levels increase ten to twenty times within thirty minutes after breastfeeding begins.
Most of it will leave again within an hour. Prolactin has a short action, in order to get the mother's response to breastfeed frequently. As a curious fact, oxytocin is one of the hormones involved in adult crush. Raising with the heart is definitely the best for parents, children and society in general. Something happens physiologically with motherhood and fatherhood, biology knows this very well.
