Sunlight exposure in early pregnancy may improve outcomes at the end of pregnancy, reduce the risk of preterm birth, and support a more mentally stable postpartum recovery while also supporting the entrainment of baby’s circadian rhythms and developmental outcomes from an earlier age.

Happy solstice! Happy winter/summer, depending on where you are!

Are you a summer baby or a winter baby? And if given the choice, which season would you prefer to have your next baby?

Birthday is actually associated with melatonin levels in the first couple of months of life… suggesting that even though human fertility isn’t completely tied to the seasons the way animal life is… Season does still affect us and our babies at a deep level!
