The Night Feed: The Podcast for New Mums ·

2026/04/26

Welcome back to The Night Feed. This episode is all about the mental load of motherhood; from decision fatigue to baby sleep struggles, comparison, and those days where you feel completely touched out. I talk about one of those nights where everything feels harder and why, even after no sleep, you will get through the next day (even if it’s powered by coffee). We dive into decision fatigue in motherhood; that strange moment when the baby finally sleeps and you suddenly don’t know what to do w...

Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I’m talking about some of the more emotional parts of early motherhood: postpartum body image, setting boundaries with family, and the rise of something many mums are quietly experiencing: postpartum rage. I share a listener email about struggling with maternal self-image after having a baby. Even after a healthy pregnancy, body changes, constant hunger from breastfeeding, and lack of time can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. I talk...

2026/04/03

Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I’m talking about something that affects almost every new mum, whether we realise it or not — the impact of social media on motherhood, our mental health, and how we see ourselves. I share a conversation I had this week about how susceptible we are as mums to algorithms and online marketing. As one of the biggest consumer groups, we’re constantly being shown carefully curated content designed to make us take action and not necessarily to make us...

The Night Feed: The Podcast for New Mums ·

2026/03/25

Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I talk about slow motherhood, contact nap guilt, and being a "good mum" in a broken system. I start by sharing a trend that’s gaining traction this year called slow motherhood. It’s the opposite of hyper-productive parenting culture and focuses on simpler days, fewer activities, less pressure to optimise childhood, and more time at home with your baby. A listener writes in about contact naps and the guilt she feels for not always loving them. Wi...

A listener shares two simple things that helped her cope with postpartum insomnia when lying awake at 3am after settling the baby. From turning the clock away to doing a simple body scan, we talk about small ways to ease the pressure when slee...

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 ...

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: The Podcast for New Mums ·

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...

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. Judgement-free spaces where feeding, crying, and cha...

This week, I’m talking about what Christmas can really look like when you’re a new mum. Not the picture-perfect version, but the one that happens at 2:47am, holding your baby in the glow of the tree lights, feeling exhausted and full of love all at once. In this ep...

Hello and welcome back to The Night Feed! I’m Charlotte, and this week we’re talking about the parts of motherhood that no one really prepares you for; the loneliness, the noise, and the reminder that every baby truly is different. It’s been a big week, my little one hit the 6-month milestone, and I’ve been reflecting on how much (and how fast) everything changes in this stage. Tonight I'm talking loneliness, sensory overload and why tantrums are an important part of development. I'm also sha...
