I am in need of a reference to support the fact that infants produce
Oxcytocin when they nurse because of the pressure point on the roof of their
mouths.  This is the same point that, when stimulated by a laboring woman,
can encourage contractions.  It is also the reason why, I believe, sucking
is so comforting to babies.

Any ideas and TIA
