Eating Turkey getting baby to sleep

Someone had posted on here previously that eating turkey while breastfeeding would help baby sleep...well I tried it yesterday and I swear it worked....baby slept 5 hours straight then another 3 1/2 straight....I am gona try again today and see if it wasnt just a coincendence.

ooo.... i like that idea. was it deli turkey (cold cuts) or like thanksgiving turkey? white meat or dark meat?

It's an amino acid that is in the turkey. It's called Tryptophan.

Maybe that`s why we get so sleepy after Thanksgiving...

I just thought that idea was sooo funny. I guess if you think about it it would work. It always does to ppl around the holidays

It was all natural deli turkey. Im sure it was the trypthopahn...thats why I tried it.
I think probably any turkey would work....I had about 3 pieces of it.

I don't really think that turkey idea works.  I eat turkey every day and the most baby's ever slept is 5 hours straight.  He's 12 weeks old.

That was me!!! I posted that b/c it's been working for me!! I'm so glad it worked for you too!! Hopefully it continues to.

On 2nd thought...we'll probably both be crashed during his 12:00 feeding if I'm eating turkey! I'm always crashed at Thanksgiving! lol
