Level of Oxytocin in Pregnant Women Predicts Mother-Child Bond
Humans are hard-wired to form enduring bonds with others. One of the primary
bonds across the mammalian species is the mother-infant bond. Evolutionarily
speaking, it is in a mother's best interest to foster the well-being of her
child; however, some mothers just seem a bit more maternal than others do.
Now, new research points to a hormone that predicts the level of bonding
between mother and child.
