Studies have found that mood changes caused by breastfeeding are very much like those that occur with intercourse and orgasm. According to a research , lactating women have shown a suppression of adrenaline release and accompanying neurological activity in response to various kinds of trauma. The release of oxytocin through breastfeeding is something of a biological perk to help women buffer stress and make it through the physical challenges of this phase, such as sleep deprivation, hormonally based emotional changes, and sweeping physiological adjustments. Postpartum adjustment is indeed more than a matter of restoring pelvic anatomy and establishing breastfeeding. This is not a smooth, even process of change but an erratic and fitful one.
Hormones ebb, flow, and intricately readjust.
The resulting hot flushes and cold spells, night sweats, and mood swings lead this to be a biologically and emotionally charged period for women and their families. All Rights Reserved.
