> BADAJOZ, Spain (UPI) -- Spanish researchers recommend giving baby
> breast milk at the same time of day it was expressed.
>
> The study, published in Nutritional Neuroscience, confirms that the
> composition of breast milk changes quite markedly throughout the day.
>
> The study found content differences in milk samples taken from 30
> women six to eight times a day depending on the time of day the
> sample was taken. These differences include variations in three
> nucleotides -- adenosine, guanosine and usine -- which excite or
> relax the nervous system and influence sleep.
>
> "You wouldn't give anyone a coffee at night, and the same is true of
> milk -- it has day-specific ingredients that stimulate activity in
> the infant, and other night-time components that help the baby to
> rest," lead author Cristina Sanchez of the Chrononutrition Laboratory
> at the University of Extremadura in Spain said in a statement.
>
> "It is a mistake for the mother to express the milk at a certain time
> and then store it and feed it to the baby at a different time."
