If your baby doesn’t “instantly fall asleep” when you put them down, then you need to read this.

Did you know that taking 15–25 minutes to fall asleep is a completely NORMAL physiological transition?

Sleep isn’t immediate—it’s a journey from awake to drifting to asleep.
If it’s taking longer than that, it usually comes down to two factors:

Sleep Pressure: Is their “sleep tank” empty enough?

Nervous System: Are they feeling calm and safe?

When we stop seeing this time as a “failure” and start seeing it as a process, we build deeper sleep confidence for both parent and baby.

As a new parent you are bombarded with so much information on every topic to do with a new-born and in my experience nothing more than your baby’s sleep.

We’ve all heard that saying “sleep breeds sleep” and your baby needs to be well rested so they can hit developmental milestones but is it time for a change?

A lot of ‘mainstream’ advice is from old beliefs, which stem out of the 1950’s but it’s 2026 and in my opinion isn’t it time we started to look at more recent evidence based research?

What if we were to tell you your new-born might need a total 18 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period, which is “normal” and the new-born down the street needs only 9 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period and this too is “normal”.

Like adults, not all babies have the exact sleep needs so if sitting in a darkened room for hours trying to get your baby to sleep is triggering your sympathetic nervous system and everyone is dialling up, then we invite you to get your baby up and get on with your day.

It is very important to understand sleep isn’t within our conscious control – both for adults and babies, yet if I tell you to jump up and down you can as you can control this.

So why spend hours trying to get your baby back to sleep after they have had a 30/45/60 minute nap? Trust in your child to take the sleep they need (remember day is for living and night is for sleeping).

Midwife-led birth and postpartum preparation based on what actually happens — not just what’s taught!

“I have supported hundreds of women through birth—and I want you to feel that level of support too.”- Cathy McCormick.

Cathy doesn’t just provide information in her Antenatal Classes, she explains what actually happens in real births, drawing on her knowledge from supporting hundreds of births. Cathy’s wealth of knowledge can help you with:

What midwives wish every woman knew before labour,

What no one tells you about the first 48 hours after birth,

Why most birth plans fall apart — and what actually helps,

Clinical Birth & Postpartum Preparation,

Real birth preparation—beyond the basics,

What to expect in labour,

How do I prepare my body for birth,

What actually helps with breastfeeding in the first week,

What does a midwife recommend before birth,

Plus much more…

If you have a newborn, you need to hear this:

Contact naps are biologically normal.

Your baby is moving from a world where their heart beat in time with yours to a world where they have to figure out sleep all on their own. They don’t have an internal clock yet!
Their sleep is erratic because they are literally learning how to be a human outside the womb.

According to studies*, the very first signs of a rhythm (like temperature fluctuations) don’t even start until around day seven. Until then, you are their anchor. If they only want to sleep on you, it’s because you are their safe space while their system adapts.

Embrace the cuddles—it’s all part of the process.
