   • Breast milk follows a biological clock. For instance, it contains low levels of the amino acid tryptophan (a precursor to the "sleep" hormone melatonin) in the morning and higher levels at night.
   
   
   • By breastfeeding, you help your infant establish their circadian rhythm—being awake during the day and asleep at night.
