Listener Questions: Feeding

The Sleep Mums ·

2022/10/06

‘Fed is best’ is so reductive (like any parent doesn’t know that!). We believe informed and supported are best, in whatever way that might be for you, and why we are passionate about sharing your questions, particularly when it comes to feeding. All of parenting is individual but perhaps nothing more so than our feeding journeys – even within a family each baby is different. We can share our expertise and our experience but it’s much more important to hear what you have to say and help you with

A to Zzz: U for Unmumsy

The Sleep Mums ·

2021/12/01

Do you feel unmumsy or undadsy or unparenty? Or maybe you did when you first became a parent? We’re often sold an idea of being an adult with small people that looks quite different from the reality. This can mean that when we have a baby we end up feeling like we’re massively failing. You’re not alone, though. And that is exactly why Sarah Turner, aka The Unmumsy Mum, started her unbelievably successful blog. In this brand new A to Zzz episode we chat to the award-winning blogger and multi

When people talk about babies and toddlers dropping a nap it sounds as though you simply chuck it on the floor and shove it under the bed with the long forgotten toys.

This is the chapter that I wish had been in my baby books, the realness, the rawness and the practical stuff we so often don’t think about preparing for a new baby. Each week in pregnancy you focus on your growing bump and developing baby but what about what comes next?

A to Zzz: F for Fertility

The Sleep Mums ·

2021/10/06

Fertility: why is it still so hard to talk about? The process of conception isn’t always as fun or easy as we’re lead to believe. It can be long and heartbreaking, full of fear (and monthly disappointment) that parenthood may never happen. From peeing on sticks, to taking temps, the anger and frustration when you see blood, miscarriage and the agony of ttc afterwards. It’s all so much and, often, all so silent. This week, The Sleep Mums: A to Zzz is Paul and Louise’s story. It’s a reminder that the

In today’s podcast we’re going to be talking Dream Feeds; are they the dream or can they sometimes be the opposite? We’ll start with the meaning of the dream feed - FYI it’s not where you dream that you have fed or are feeding your baby, only to wake up on the loo!
