Back to Holding Space for Families Again

It’s been a while since we took a proper break as a family—no schedules, no rushing, no “what’s next.” Just time to explore, eat well, meet kind souls, and be together. And it was incredible.

Sharing the experience with my parents made it even more meaningful. There was something really beautiful about seeing all generations slowing down together.

Now, I’m home—and ready to walk alongside the families I support with a full heart, fresh energy, and deep gratitude.⁠

Motherhood doesn’t come with time off, but taking time away—to rest, to reconnect, to be human—is everything.

📷 One of those moments that felt like magic.

🌿 Nurtured Bub is on Holidays! 🌿

Hey lovely ones! Just a quick heads up that I’m taking a little break and soaking up some precious family time 💛

I’ll be out of office until the 1st of May, so I won’t be available for consults during this time. I might peek at my DMs if time (and little hands!) allow—but replies may be slow.

If you’ve already got a booking, no worries—I’ll see you as planned. And if you’re needing support, feel free to message or email, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I return.

Thanks for your patience and understanding. Wishing you moments of rest, connection, and coffee that’s actually hot ☕✨

With love,
Dana xx
IBCLC & Holistic Sleep Coach

💌Share this because the bloody cookies don’t work ladies!

I first posted this little viral post almost 5 years ago and nothing has changed! Galactagogues are legit, but no amount of milo, oats, brewers yeast etc is going to make milk. These things (in stupidly large quantities) act like cheerleaders, but do not run the face for you!

🌙 Baby Won’t Sleep? It’s Not You, It’s Biology!

You’ve tried everything. The dark room, the perfect sleep sack, the white noise machine turned up to “ocean storm.” And yet… your baby still wakes up. Again. And again.

You start wondering: Am I doing something wrong?

No, mama. It’s not you. It’s biology.

Babies aren’t designed to sleep like adults. Their tiny stomachs mean they need frequent feeds. Their light sleep helps protect against SIDS. Their instinct to wake and seek comfort? It’s pure survival.

But knowing this doesn’t make the exhaustion easier—so here’s what can help:

💛 Shift your expectations. Your baby isn’t broken. They’re doing exactly what they’re meant to.

💛 Find ways to rest, not fight sleep. Safe co-sleeping (following Safe Sleep Seven), contact naps, or asking for help during the day can make nights less brutal.

💛 Look at sleep holistically. More outdoor time, responsive daytime feeds, and meeting emotional needs all impact night sleep.

💡 And if you need personalized support? I’m here. As a Holistic Sleep Coach & IBCLC, I help parents navigate sleep without the pressure to “train” or ignore their instincts.

💬 Tell me—what’s been the hardest part of baby sleep for you? Let’s talk about it. You’re not alone. 💛

✨ Hey, I’m Dana! 👋 ✨

You might’ve noticed I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately—but I’m back, and I can’t wait to reconnect! 💛 Life has been full, and like so many mums, I’ve been juggling all the things, from family life to supporting incredible parents like you in my consultations. I’m so excited to be here again, sharing what I love.

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and Holistic Sleep Coach based in Perth, Australia. But first and foremost, I’m a mum who’s been right where you are—exhausted, overwhelmed, and searching for answers.

My journey into this work began with my own struggles. Breastfeeding my daughter was so much harder than I ever expected—nipple shields, tongue-tie, endless doubts. Sleep? Let’s just say I ran on survival mode for two years. 😵‍💫 But those challenges lit a fire in me. I wanted to support other mums in ways I wished I had back then.

Now, through Nurtured Bub, I help families navigate breastfeeding, sleep, and all the ups and downs of early parenting with evidence-based guidance, empathy, and zero judgment. Whether you need help with latch issues, night wakings, or just reassurance that you’re doing an amazing job (because you are), I’ve got you. 💛

Tell me—what’s been your biggest challenge in this season of motherhood? Drop it in the comments or send me a DM—I’d love to support you! 💬👇

Why Your Baby Wakes at Night (And Why It’s Normal!)

📢 Tired of guessing why your baby keeps waking up?
Here’s the truth: Night waking is NORMAL. Let’s break it down. 👇

🧠 Newborns don’t know day from night.
Their body clock (circadian rhythm) is still developing, so waking at night is just part of their natural adjustment.

🤱 Tiny tummy = frequent feeds.
Young babies need to eat often—day and night. Night feeds aren’t a “bad habit”; they’re biologically necessary.

❌ It’s not always about hunger.
Just because your baby starts waking more doesn’t mean you don’t have enough milk. Growth spurts, comfort needs, or developmental changes can all play a role.

🌡 They might just be uncomfortable.
Too hot? Too cold? Wrapped too tightly? Too much noise? Not enough noise? Babies are sensitive to their sleep environment.

🚀 Sleep “regressions” are actually progress!
Suddenly waking more? Your baby might be busy learning a new skill like rolling, crawling, or standing. Sleep disruptions often mean they’re growing!

🔊 Noisy sleepers aren’t always awake.
Babies grunt, wiggle, and even cry briefly in their sleep. Pausing for a moment before responding can sometimes help them settle on their own.

💡 The takeaway?
Night waking isn’t a problem—it’s a normal part of infant sleep. Hang in there! This season won’t last forever. 💕

Motherhood truths no one warned us about (but we’re here to tell you it’s going to be okay):

🌙 “Sleep when the baby sleeps” feels like a cruel joke when your to-do list is longer than your patience. But here’s the truth: it’s okay if you just sit and breathe instead. Rest looks different for everyone.

🌀 Laundry will always be there (it’s basically a third child at this point). But you? You don’t need to do it all today. One step at a time.

🔇 When the house is too quiet, it’s not calm—it’s a toddler plotting chaos. And when it happens, remember: messes can be cleaned. Memories are what matter.

☕ Reheated coffee isn’t a fail—it’s survival fuel. And you’re doing it, mama. One sip at a time.

✨ Some days you’ll feel like you’re just surviving, not thriving. But here’s the light: every “I love you, mummy” and every giggle is proof you’re their whole world.

❤️ Motherhood is HARD, but you’re not alone. And this stage? It’s just that—a stage. You’ve got this.

💬 Which one hits closest to home? Share your own truths below or tag a mama who might need this reminder today. 🌸
