Study Summary
Oxytocin is a hormone that is released in response to distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, and after breast feeding as a result of nipple stimulation. In addition to oxytocin facilitating birth and breastfeeding, oxytocin has a number of effects on maternal behavior including bonding, social recognition, anxiolysis, sexual arousal. The role of oxytocin in pain modulation has recently been highlighted. Intranasal or intrathecal (spinal) administration has been found to impact pain modulation. The administration of intravenous oxytocin has not provided effective analgesia because oxytocin is unable to pass to your brain. The role of breastfeeding on analgesia is poorly investigated, which is why we are carrying out this study.
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome measure will be change in pain scores (0=no pain, 10=worse pain imaginable) during and after breastfeeding compared to pain before. We will examine both vaginal, cramping and surgical pain as appropriate. The patients will be given a breastfeeding diary to complete, which will record the average pain scores (0-10) before, during and after each breastfeed.
