Summary
Stimulation of the nipple is known to release oxytocin from the pituitary gland, which in turn causes uterine contractions during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. In this chapter we present nipple stimulation as a method of induction of labor and as one of the available measures to deal with postpartum bleeding. We also include the available internet-based information on nipple stimulation in pregnancy.
