Even when it feels completely broken
Becoming a parent is one of the most wonderful and exhausting experiences. In those early weeks and months, sleep often feels unpredictable, fragmented and impossible to “fix.” That’s why I’m always looking for gentle, realistic advice that supports parents without piling on pressure.
This month, I wanted to share a brilliant blog written by sleep expert Kathryn Pinkham for Little Dreams Consulting Head Office. Kathryn talks about how new parents can protect their own sleep, even when their baby’s sleep is still settling. Her tips focus on realistic habits, small changes and ways to support your own wellbeing while navigating broken nights.
Here’s a quick look at what she covers:
- Why your sleep needs matter just as much as your baby’
- How to cope with night waking without feeling so overwhelmed
- Simple habits that help you feel more rested
- What “good sleep” really looks like in the newborn stage
It’s a warm, reassuring read, especially if you’re in the thick of early parenthood.

I hope you find it as comforting and useful as we did. If you ever need personalised support with your little one’s sleep, I’m always here to help.
