I swear I can actually feel the effects of the happy hormones after I've given Freya a solid long feed. They help me get by on less sleep, reduce the stress I feel, and I'm sure they've had alot to do with how much I've enjoyed having a newborn.
The flipside has been that if she's fed a little less sometimes I wonder if losing the happy hormones makes me more upset about it? It could be just usual 'mum' worry but apart from feeding I'd say I probably worry too little rather than too much (if our dog gives her a hoooge smoochy I don't panic, more likely I think TG he likes her!).
Do other people 'feel' the difference of the happy hormones? What difference do you think it makes to life? Did you notice them drop when you weaned or if LO had a fussy stage?

Each time she has gone through a fussy stage where she doesnt feed as much i definatley feel the difference.
