Dear lactnetters,

The topic of all kinds of physical and emotional reactions to let-down have
been discussed before. What seems to be left out of the discussions is the
*why* to these reactions. I have heard mention headaches, nausea, extreme
fatique and itching.
Is there any kind of research done on this topic? Does anyone know wether it
is the let-down or the oxytocin that is causing the reactions? If it is the
oxytocin,s houldn't have some women experience  comparible reactions to
orgasme?


Warmly greeting,

Gonneke
