How Melatonin and Cortisol Affect Your Baby's Sleep?

Human beings, along with other mammals, produce hormones that help us go to sleep in the dark (melatonin) and wake in the morning (cortisol). If these hormones get disrupted they can negatively affect your toddler’s sleep so it’s really important to know how to regulate them.
