Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I’m talking about some of the biggest worries new and expectant mums quietly carry; baby sleep struggles, the pressure to have a baby sleeping through the night, and the fear many women feel before giving birth.

A listener writes in during a 3am feed asking the question so many parents Google in the middle of the night: how do I get my baby to sleep longer stretches? When your newborn wakes every 90 minutes it can feel like everyone else’s baby has figured out sleep except yours. We talk honestly about normal newborn sleep, the confusion caused by endless advice online, and whether baby sleep really does improve on its own.

Another mum at 38 weeks pregnant shares how scared she feels about giving birth. Even when you’re excited to meet your baby, the unknown of labour and delivery can feel overwhelming. We talk about why those feelings are completely normal and how many mums experience fear before birth.

This episode is for tired mums searching baby sleep answers at 3am, and for mums-to-be lying awake wondering how they’ll get through labour. You’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong.
