Effect of Lactation Hormone on Mother’s Brain

Prolactin, a hormone that stimulates a mother’s milk production, appears to be a vital component in maternal behaviour. Prolactin is best known for its role in enabling milk production in mammals. The same hormone that stimulates milk production for lactation, also acts in the brain to help establish the link between mother and baby. Disruptions in the ability of prolactin to communicate in the brain could lead to problems for mothers establishing a bond with their baby. This may in part explain issues with some animal species abandoning their young.
