Breast milk helps babies sleep better because it contains melatonin, a hormone that is naturally released by the body at night to support sleep.
Research shows that breast milk produced at night has higher levels of melatonin. Although newborns do not yet have a mature melatonin production cycle like adults, breast milk helps regulate their biological rhythm.
As a result, breastfeeding supports a healthy sleep schedule for babies, helping them stay awake during the day and sleep better at night.
