Is melatonin safe to take while nursing and co sleeping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Co-sleeping is: Dangerous. Melatonin is not safe with breastfeeding . It can decrease prolactin which is necessary for breast milk and melatonin passes into the breastmilk. Please contact your doctor about other viable options.
