I found this link while looking up info on oxytocin. I scrolled through the site and investigated most of the links to supportive articles. It says the idea originally came from Sweden. Since I know Rachel has spent much time studying in Sweden, perhaps she can amplify this?


It occurred to me that it could help parents whose toddlers are acting out, especially re: sibling rivalry when a new baby 
comes into the home??? I sent it to my LC colleagues at WIC and recommended that it be shared with the peers as well 
(and LLLL's too.) I have found this to be a situation of particular concern to affected parents, which I explained not long 
ago in a Lactnet post, about filling a toddler's "touch bank" early in the day, sometimes with a little "Vitamin tickle", for 
him to "draw on" while mom's hands, previously much "his", are busy with the new baby.

This was among the interesting references I found on the site:

I cut and pasted this. I hope that makes a viable link.
