I am training to be a bf counsellor and one of the questions has
stumped me! The question is "how does the time of day/night that a
baby feeds affect milk production?". I am pretty sure it is referring
to the difference in the content of breastmilk in the day and at night
and I am also pretty sure that I know vaguely that breastmilk produced
at night is tastier and more fatty due to mother being rested but I
can't find this written anywhere - I have been searching on google for
about 2 hours now and figured this a great place to ask. I don't need
medical references or anything - will gladly receive any suggestions.

TIA

More prolactin is produced by the mother at night, so a night feed is
more beneficial in boosting supply than a day time feed.

Googling for prolactin might help.

Sorry...no time to write more.

I'm going to train to be a councellor soon too :-)

Good luck,
