The Night Feed ·

2026/02/11

In this episode of The Night Feed, I talk about the quiet loneliness of early motherhood, contact naps, phone guilt, and the mental load that so many mums carry silently. We chat about being told “you’ve got your hands full,” a chaotic school-run pancake attempt, and how our expectations of how motherhood should look often set us up to feel like we’re failing. I share listener messages about taking a social media detox and feeling the mental fog lift, leaning into contact naps without worryin...

The Night Feed ·

2026/02/04

This week on The Night Feed, I’m diving into one of the most divisive and emotionally loaded topics in modern parenting: sleep training. More specifically, the question so many mums end up Googling through tears in the middle of the night: Is cry it out actually harmful? We talk about why this debate feels louder than ever, how social media has turned baby sleep into a moral battleground, and what the research from the past decade actually says about sleep training and attachment. I read a li...

The Night Feed ·

2026/01/28

Welcome back to The Night Feed. I’m Charlotte, and this episode starts with a bit of a rant because honestly… some days that’s where we’re at. This week’s unpaid sponsor is scrolling when the baby sleeps. You know the drill. You finally lay down, baby’s settled, and suddenly you’ve lost 45 minutes to your phone and feel worse than when you started. In this episode, I talk about an unintentional screen-free day and then we get into your messages. A listener writes in with an apology to the par...

Welcome back to The Night Feed. I’m Charlotte, and tonight, I’m talking about the quiet shock of early motherhood. The part no one really prepares you for. The part where you love your baby deeply, but still feel disoriented, lost, or like a stranger in your own life. I share honestly about how I’m doing (sleep has been all over the place), a film that stayed with me, and a brilliant trend I came across: baby-friendly comedy clubs for mums.
