I want to study postpartum effect of gestational hypertention..so do i need to separate mothers with their offsprings after delivery?i afraid lactation can affect blood pressure of the mother..
I think you are right considering an influence of lactation (at least because of the connections between oxytocine and vasopressin). But don't you think the stress of a separation will affect the outcome as well?
Perhaps you right because of the role of oxytocin is (maintenance of lactogenesis, as well as decreased postpartum bleeding and more rapid uterine involution. Also functions as a neurotransmitter, sedative, and promoter of mother-child attachment ).
