Don’t know if it<br /> Makes a difference, anecdotally, in my experience. I did label my milk am or pm but I pretty much only had extra milk to pump off in the morning so I was always using am milk for<br /> A bottle if needed and then that bottle would usually be an afternoon or bedtime bottle if I was out. </p> <p>What is clear: breastmilk is quite complicated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-feeding-and-the-circadian-rhythm#post-2893766 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 22:01:57 +0000 DesertDreams88 2893766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard it often. Never saw data for it though. Didn't cate about trying to label AM vs PM milk ever, pumping wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-feeding-and-the-circadian-rhythm#post-2893752 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 19:34:24 +0000 Blythe 2893752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Came across this article (link is below) on The Conversation and thought it was worthy of sharing. The gist is that scientists are starting to study whether breast milk produced at certain times of day, contains "chrononutrition" like cortisol, melatonin etc. which help babies regulate their sleep patterns. </p> <p><a href="https://theconversation.com/human-breast-milk-may-help-babies-tell-time-via-circadian-signals-from-mom-118492" rel="nofollow">https://theconversation.com/human-breast-milk-may-help-babies-tell-time-via-circadian-signals-from-mom-118492</a></p> <p>It's the first time I'd come across this concept, but it makes a lot of sense to me. Would be interested to know if anyone has come across similar articles or research, or even if anyone has anecdotal experience that backs this up? </p>
