Sarah Dib, an academic at University College London is currently looking at the effect of a breastfeeding meditation on maternal stress but also milk hormones and composition and infant growth and behaviour. There was a previous study done in Malaysia carried out by one of her colleagues which showed that meditation improved the growth of the baby, lowered mother’s stress levels, and increased the fat content in the milk. She is now replicating the study in the UK and in premature babies.
