The article kindly explores the idea that breastfeeding is the key to the mother-baby bond . While it is true that breastfeeding stimulates oxytocin —the bonding hormone—and creates a favorable context for the mother-child connection, it is by no means essential for creating this bond .

The emotional bond is built through gaze, touch, voice, and daily presence , regardless of the feeding method (breast, bottle, breast pump, etc.). The text emphasizes that each parent-baby duo is unique , and that not feeling a "magical" bond while breastfeeding is perfectly normal .

The central message: It's not the gesture that counts, but the intention, the gentleness, and the consistency . There's no one way to love or do good—every parent bonds in their own way.
