The most critical factor in breast milk production isn't the time, it's frequent and effective nursing. Still, a general observation: between 1:00–5:00 AM, when prolactin hormone reaches its highest level, nighttime feedings support milk production more. Especially a feeding around 3:00–4:00 AM before dawn has a positive effect on total daily production.
Think of this more as your body's natural rhythm than a rule. If nighttime sleep is broken it might feel tiring — still, trying not to skip nighttime feedings is one of the most effective ways to keep your milk balanced throughout the day.
