Hi,

An interesting article indeed. I am concerned with the question "compared to what?" Breastmilk, expressed at any time of the day or night - whether your baby is newborn, 6mnths, 12mnths or a toddler is far superior to the other option. I just worry that mothers will lose sight of this. There is already so much pressure for mothers to stop breastfeeding and start formula feeding mistakenly believing that formula will ensure a good night's sleep. I'd hate this to ad to this - remember there are no "sleepy nucleotides" in formula - though some are thickened with rice starch with sits heavily in the stomach, causing baby to be sluggish.
