Hi,
I just started pumping for bottle feeding and I’m very confused as to what would count as day milk vs night milk with how irregular a schedule with a new baby can be and how artificial light confuses the circadian rhythm. For instance I’m pumping milk at 5am (dim lights on) during a feeding today and I don’t know if it counts as day/night milk since I read that melatonin peaks between 2am-4am, but cortisol is highest at 6am. What is breast milk doing between 4am and 6am then? I appreciate any insight into this so I can be less confused as to how my saved milk should be labelled.
Thanks

Dont over think it too much, your body will let you know and so will your baby! Good luck!
