This is especially important during the first few weeks of life, when babies are not yet making their own supply of melatonin. | Labeling pumped milk with the time of day collected may help maintain the valuable connection between breast milk components and infant sleep even when mother has to be away. | Breastfeeding to sleep is NOT a bad habit! | Melatonin is a hormone that occurs naturally in your body. At night, your levels of melatonin rise, before returning to normal during the day. This helps to control how and when you sleep. | Since the hormone serves both a hypnotic role and also relaxes the gastrointestinal muscles, breast milk melatonin could be a major factor in early neurological development of sleep/wake cycles, as well as reduced colic incidence. | Country: GB
