Excited to be going to this Virtual Summit!

Delighted to be sharing all about Oxytocin from Birth to Postpartum at this fabulous and free online summit. How oxytocin works in physiological birth, the impacts of interventions such epidurals and caesareans and how to address 'hormonal gaps' when interventions is needed, including highlights my PhD research. Please use and share this affiliate link to support my work at no cost to you. Thanks Dancing For Birth https://www.dancingforbirth.com/a/2148269530/LXsqesLz

Maternal mental health conditions don't just hurt moms — they affect the whole family. New CDC data confirms a growing crisis, and Black women are bearing the heaviest burden. Demand Congress act before more lives are lost.

Human touch & skin to skin has been scientifically proven to increase their brain function, immune system and their neurological system just to name a few.

Research shows that babies who sleep close to a parent receive thousands of additional hours of physical touch during early development. This contact is not merely comfort. It sends continuous sensory signals that help the infant nervous system organize responses to stress, sound, temperature, and emotional cues in everyday environments.
Touch activates receptors that influence heart rate, breathing rhythm, and hormone balance. When infants experience consistent physical closeness, cortisol levels tend to remain lower while oxytocin increases. These shifts support immune function and create biological conditions that encourage stable growth and reduced stress sensitivity over time.
Brain development is also shaped through repeated sensory interaction. Physical contact strengthens neural pathways involved in emotional regulation, attention, and social recognition. The developing brain interprets safe touch as environmental security, allowing energy to shift from survival monitoring toward exploration, learning, and adaptive behavior patterns.
Secure attachment forms when infants repeatedly experience responsiveness and safety. This attachment is linked to stronger emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and improved coping skills later in life. Sleeping close does not spoil children. It provides regulatory input the brain expects during early years when self soothing systems are still developing and learning.
