@milkymakers: It’s completely normal for newborns to stay awake more at night and sleep a lot during the day. 😴🌙 Babies aren’t born producing their own melatonin — the hormone that helps us fall asleep. 🌜 In the beginning, they rely on the melatonin they received from their mother during pregnancy and later through breast milk. 🤱✨ Their natural melatonin production only starts around 3–4 months. ⏳👶 Until then, they’re still learning the difference between day and night, which can easily cause confusion and anxiety for parents. 😵💫💛 How to help? Lots of natural light and activity during the day. ☀️👀 At night: keep things dark, calm, quiet, and follow a predictable routine. 🌙🤫 This supports the development of their “biological clock” and helps them eventually sleep for longer stretches at night. 🕰️💤 Share this with a mom who needs to hear it! 🤍👩🍼 #milkymakers #MomsofTikTok #mothersupportingmothers
