Infant pheromones act through the olfactory bulb, activating the limbic system of the brain, the same area responsible for emotions, attachment, and motivation. Unlike adult sexual pheromones, they do not cause arousal, but direct behavior towards caring and protection.
Lactone cis-6-dodecene-4-olide
This substance is found in the skin secretions of infants and in breast milk.
It enhances attachment and maternal instincts, as well as suppresses stress reactions.
Olamide
It is a lipid compound found in the biological fluids of infants, including sweat and skin secretions.
It has a calming and hypnotic effect, helping parents to adapt more easily to child care.
Pheromone related to lactation
Certain volatile compounds released by the baby's skin stimulate the production of prolactin in the mother, enhancing lactation. This is one of the mechanisms explaining why the smell of your own baby helps a nursing mother to maintain sufficient milk.
