Unexpected feelings

Breastfeeding: Between maternal happiness and taboos

A baby at the mother's breast - an image of love and security. But the breastfeeding process can also evoke feelings of arousal in the mother, an often taboo subject. Freud already described the baby's "oceanic feeling of pleasure", while some mothers experience unexpected sensations.

A baby sucking on its mother's breast. What a wonderful image of idyll, of love, of perfect happiness. One senses that the breastfeeding process is more than just satisfying hunger.
