 Did you know your brain makes a special chemical that makes you feel love? It’s called oxytocin!
Scientists call it the “love hormone” because it makes you feel happy and close to others.
When you hug your family, play with friends, or even see someone you like, your brain makes oxytocin. It’s like a warm, fuzzy feeling in your heart!
Babies produce oxytocin during breastfeeding and when cuddling with their moms. It helps babies feel safe and loved. Oxytocin also helps moms bond with their babies.
Love isn’t just in your heart – it’s in your brain, too!
