Confused if your baby is sleepy or hungry or both?

Watch for these cues. And remember: MORE tired is not better for sleep!

Phase One: Take them to the room
Phase Two: Inside the room now!!
Phase Three: Take them to the room and you’ll need to calm them first.

These cues along with the correct wake windows will help you manage your baby’s sleep!

2025 didn’t just give me results. It gave me lessons.

From over-feeding solids to contact naps, from anxious Googling to emotional regulation -
every family reminded me that baby sleep is never just about sleep.

It’s about Approach.
Partnership.
Consistency.
Confidence.
And being kind to parents while we figure it out together.

Thank you to every family who trusted me with their nights 🤍
Here’s to learning, unlearning, and growing in 2026.

New Year’s Eve looks very different when there’s a small baby at home...and that’s okay 💛

You don’t have to prove anything.

You don’t need to make your partner or your family happy over yourself or your baby.

Let’s normalise not pushing the baby
- past bedtime
- past tolerance
- past their nervous system

just to say “we went out”

And also…
Let’s normalise starting the year together
Not one parent out partying
while the other is on baby duty

Team effort. Team celebration.

Staying in can still feel special, connected, and celebratory. Just a little softer, a little earlier, and a lot more realistic.

Here are a few low-pressure ways to welcome the new year without fighting your baby’s needs or your own.

Which one sounds most like your vibe this year? ✨

Motherhood dream edition: 2026!

Some things may be fantasy…
but better sleep doesn’t have to be.

Save this for when you’re questioning the meaning of life in the middle of the night! 😅

Nap resistance is one of the most misunderstood sleep struggles.

It’s rarely about your child “not wanting to sleep.”
It’s usually about:
✔ mistimed wake windows
✔ an overstimulating environment
✔ or a nervous system that needs help settling

Occasional resistance? Completely normal.
Daily nap battles? That’s information.

For babies, it’s about meeting them where their biology is at.
For toddlers, it’s biology plus behaviour.

Save this for your next rough nap day

Newborns are pure magic ❤️

Here are a few moments that melt every parent’s heart 🥹

~ That full-body stretch after sleep

~ Those fluttering eyelids mid-dream

~ Those round cheeks you can look down on when they sleep on your chest 🥹

~ Tiny fists relaxing in your palm

~ That huge, satisfying burp! 😂

~ Even their sneezes feel like poetry 🤣🥹

~ That side-eye they give you when breastfeeding! ❤️❤️

~ That bright gummy smile after they wake from a full nap! 🤩

The newborn days are hard but they fly by! Stay in the baby bubble as long as you can ❤️

Dads, take heed of the invisible load. Because if you don't, someone and something in your family will suffer. There is no miracle that will prevent that from happening.

We need to talk about something almost every new mother hears:

“Don’t nurse your baby to sleep.”

But here’s the thing: This advice isn’t just unhelpful… it goes against human biology.

Breastfeeding has always been one of the body’s built-in tools for calming, regulating and soothing babies to sleep. It isn’t a mistake. It isn’t a flaw. And it definitely isn’t a “bad habit.”

Your baby isn’t manipulating you.
They’re doing exactly what they’re designed to do: seeking comfort, safety and connection through you.

Yes, babies wake.
Yes, they need help connecting sleep cycles.
Yes, they fall asleep faster when they’re soothed.

This is nature doing its job.

And no, you don’t need to “fix” the fact that your baby relaxes in your arms or at the breast. Babies adapt beautifully to different caregivers, and sleep can evolve gently over time without forcing independence before they’re ready.

“Don’t feed to sleep because it will become a habit” is an illogical and unscientific statement coming from fear and deep social conditioning. Tune into your body and to your baby and do what feels right.
