First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looks at how a mother's emotional health and lifestyle—like stress, sleep, and diet—might change the levels of melatonin and an immune protein called sIgA in her breast milk. Researchers will collect milk samples and survey 120 new mothers. The goal is to better understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
