Birth And Breastfeeding - Odent, Michel

Humanity, argues Michel Odent, stands at a crossroads in the history of childbirth -- and the direction we choose to take will have critical consequences. Until recently a woman could not have had a baby without releasing a complex cocktail of 'love hormones'. In many societies today, most women give birth without relying on the release of such a flow of hormones. Some give birth via caesarean section, while others use drugs that not only block the release of these natural substances, but do not have their beneficial behavioural effects.
