Breastfeeding issues experienced by mothers with disordered eating habits may be partially explained by oxytocin functioning, and it may even play a role in the intergenerational transmission of eating disorders via early-life attachment experiences. Studies in this context should take the manner of delivery into account because cesarean sections modify the levels of the hormone oxytocin after birth, which may affect the mother's breastfeeding practices [21]. The gene discussed is OXT; the disease is eating disorder.
