I would like to see a study done on bottle-feeding mammas to see if their dendrites release oxytocin. That would show if the oxytocin release is stimulated by the act of breastfeeding or by the "feeling" of feeding a child. So much of what we know about these hormones is not related to physical stimuli, so I wonder again if it's just due to the love and compassion for feeding a child, or if it's physically stimulated by breastfeeding. Do they make any mention of it in the article? Very interesting. I would like to see a study done on bottle-feeding mammas to see if their dendrites release oxytocin.
