In this episode, I explore why babies wake frequently during the night and what might be behind those repeated wakings.

We look at how sleep changes as babies grow, the relationship between feeding and sleep, settling habits, starting nursery and why some babies wake more often than others.

I also share my own experience with night feeding and why I believe gentle sleep support should never mean ignoring your baby's needs.

If you're feeling exhausted and wondering how to make nights more manageable, remember that you don't have to figure it all out alone.

In this episode, I’m joined by Alexandra to share her journey towards a vaginal birth after a previous caesarean.

After a difficult first birth in Romania, Alexandra moved to Barcelona and faced a new pregnancy with concerns about navigating the healthcare system in another language. She shares how birth preparation and doula support helped her feel informed and confident throughout her VBAC journey.

We talk about her labour, the decisions she made along the way and welcoming baby Aron in what she describes as the healing birth she needed after her C-section.

Have you ever spent ages getting your newborn to sleep, only for them to wake up the moment you put them down? If your baby seems happiest sleeping in your arms, you might be wondering whether you're holding them too much or creating habits that will be difficult to change later.

In this episode, I explain why newborns need so much closeness, what the fourth trimester means and why many babies settle more easily in their parents' arms. I also share my own experience of those early days and why it's possible to love those precious cuddles while still finding them exhausting.

You'll discover how to approach contact naps safely, understand frequent feeding and recognise your baby's tiredness cues. I'll also share gentle ways to introduce the cot while respecting your newborn's needs, without expecting them to sleep independently before they're ready.

Most importantly, I'll remind you that responding to your newborn's need for closeness doesn't mean you're creating bad habits. Your baby needs comfort and connection, and you deserve rest, nourishment and support, too.

The clocks going back can affect your baby's sleep more than you might expect. You might notice earlier mornings, bedtime struggles or naps that suddenly feel out of sync.

In Episode 29, I explain how the autumn clock change can affect your baby's body clock and share gentle, practical ways to help your baby or toddler adjust.

You'll discover how to shift bedtime gradually, use natural daylight to support sleep, adapt routines for newborns and toddlers, and recognise when it's best to give your little one more time to adjust.

I also share why this seasonal change can be an opportunity to reflect on your family's daily rhythm and find small ways to make everyday life feel calmer and more manageable.

Because your sleep and wellbeing matter, too.

In this episode, I’m explaining why I call it sleep coaching rather than sleep training, and why that difference matters when supporting babies, toddlers and their families.

I share how understanding your child’s sleep, making small adjustments and receiving the right support can help your family move towards better rest without losing the connection you have with your little one.

I also talk about gentle changes, realistic expectations and why you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
