Rachel,
I love these comments because they ring true with me about setting a
relaxed tone with families. Wonderful statement about the oxytocin and
affection enough, it energizes me. Thank you for your wise woman sharing.

is fraught with angst and I think joking helps alleviate it ('if it
were really that dangerous, she wouldn't be joking, would she?'). Of
course I strive not to trample on anyone's personal boundaries with
humor, but I think the risk of trampling is less if you are laughing
with someone than if you are being coldly clinical. For me, it is part
of expressing how much I like mothers and babies in general, and the
mother and baby in front of me in particular. I don't often have to
pretend to like someone, either. I just take a deep breath of the
oxytocin-laden air in the room and I feel affectionate enough.
