Mother. Lover. Sleeper. 🤍

We are mothers. We are partners and lovers. We are friends, thinkers, creators, and people with interests and identities beyond motherhood.

And we are sleepers.

Sleep is not simply the gap between everything else we do. It supports our ability to be present, connected, and ourselves across every part of life.

This isn't about performing each role perfectly. It's about recognising that mothers are whole people, and their need for regeneration *Every. Single. Night* matters too.

Mother. Lover. Sleeper.

Three parts that can exist together.

If sleep is making it harder to feel like yourself, Sleep Again offers responsive, personalised support for your family.

When a toddler isn’t sleeping well, the impact rarely stays contained to the night. 🤍

A 2021 observational study involving 174 mother-toddler pairs found associations between reported toddler sleep difficulties and aspects of maternal wellbeing, including depressive symptoms, parenting stress, and parenting self-efficacy.

But this is where we need to be really careful with how we talk about research.

An association is not the same as causation.

This study cannot tell us that a mother’s mental health caused her toddler’s sleep difficulties. It also cannot establish whether difficult sleep contributed to maternal distress, whether maternal wellbeing influenced perceptions or experiences of sleep, or whether other factors were involved.

And it certainly doesn’t tell us that a struggling parent has done something wrong.

What it does remind us is that sleep exists within the wellbeing of the whole family (we ALL innately know this).

If nights are difficult and you’re exhausted, stressed, or finding parenthood harder to navigate, you deserve support too. Addressing your child’s sleep can be one part of that support, but mental health concerns deserve their own appropriate professional care.

Clock changes can feel like a surprisingly big adjustment when you have a little one whose days revolve around naps, feeds, meals, and bedtime. ⏰

The good news? You don’t necessarily need to overhaul their entire routine overnight.

If your child tends to be sensitive to changes in timing, you can start making small 10–15 minute adjustments in the days leading up to the clock change. Think about the whole day rather than bedtime alone. Naps, meals, morning wake time, and bedtime all work together to create their familiar rhythm.

And once the clocks change, give them a little time.

Some babies and children adapt quickly. Others need several days for their body clock and daily routine to catch up. Keep their familiar sleep cues consistent rather than introducing lots of other changes at the same time.

Morning light, regular meals, daytime activity and a predictable wind-down can all help reinforce when it’s time to be awake and when the day is coming to an end.

And remember, Queensland families don’t change their clocks, but this can still be helpful if you’re travelling interstate or returning home from a state that observes daylight saving.

“How many times should my baby still be feeding overnight?”

It’s a question I hear often, and there isn’t one number that applies to every baby. 🤍

Night feeding needs are individual. Two babies of the same age can have very different needs depending on their growth, daytime intake, health, feeding history, and development.

And importantly, not every night wake automatically means hunger, but we shouldn’t assume hunger isn’t involved either.

This is why I don’t look at night waking in isolation.

If your baby is waking frequently, we can look at the broader sleep picture, including their naps, sleep timing, settling, environment, and patterns across the full 24 hours.

Feeding decisions, however, need to take your individual baby into account. Before reducing or removing night feeds, particularly if you have any concerns about feeding, growth or health, speak with your baby’s healthcare professional.

Sleep support should work alongside your baby’s nutritional and developmental needs, not against them.
If you’re trying to understand what might be contributing to your baby’s night wakes, Book Your Sleep Consultation. 🤍

Sometimes, having someone who truly understands your baby and listens to your concerns can make all the difference. 🤍

Thank you so much, Jess, for your beautiful review and for trusting me to support your family. Knowing that you're not only seeing positive changes in your little one's sleep but also feeling more confident as parents means so much to me. ❤️

Every baby is different, and sleep support should reflect that. My goal is always to provide realistic, responsive, and individualised guidance that works for your family.

Before changing the routine, removing a feed, or trying a completely new settling method, spend two to three days observing the full pattern.

One of the most valuable parts of working with a sleep consultant is that we don’t look at each wake in isolation.
When you keep a feed and sleep log, I can look at the full 24-hour picture and start connecting what happens overnight with what happened earlier in the day.

For example, a wake shortly after bedtime may lead us to look more closely at the final nap, bedtime timing, feeding, comfort, and how your baby initially settled.

Repeated early-morning wakes might prompt us to explore a completely different combination of factors, including daytime sleep, hunger, room temperature, morning light and whether a particular waking time has become familiar.

And sometimes the pattern tells us that sleep isn’t the only thing we need to consider. If your child appears uncomfortable, unwell, has feeding concerns or shows changes in breathing during sleep, that’s something to discuss with their GP or child health professional.

The wake gives us information. The log gives us context.

That means we can make thoughtful, individualised adjustments based on your child’s actual pattern rather than reacting to one difficult night or relying on generic sleep advice.

Patterns tell the story, and that’s where meaningful change begins. 🤍

Friday mornings are about to look a little fresher. ☀️

I know that by the end of the week, especially after a few broken nights, the last thing most parents need is another enormous list of things they “should” be doing.

So I’m keeping this simple.

Fresh-Faced Friday is my weekly email designed to give you something genuinely useful without adding more noise to your week.

Each Friday morning, I’ll share one science-backed sleep fact and turn it into a practical takeaway you can actually use with your family.

We’ll talk about sleep from birth to five years, covering newborn sleep, naps, routines, development, toddlers, and the many changes that happen along the way.

Short. Practical. Evidence-informed. And written for parents who have probably already had a very big week. 🤍

The first Fresh-Faced Friday arrives:
📅 Friday, 9 October 2026
⏰ 6:00 am Australia/Brisbane time

Want it delivered straight to your inbox?

“What should my baby actually wear to sleep?” 🌡️

It’s one of those questions that can suddenly become much harder when the seasons change.

Rather than dressing your baby simply because it’s “spring” or “summer”, consider the actual environment they’re sleeping in, including how that temperature might change throughout the night.

TOG is helpful because it gives us an indication of how much insulation a sleeping bag provides. Always check the manufacturer’s dressing guide for the sleepwear you’re using rather than assuming all sleeping bags are the same.
And remember, your baby is part of the temperature check too.

Feel their chest, tummy, or back. You’re looking for comfortably warm, rather than hot, sweaty, or clammy. Little hands and feet can naturally feel cooler, so I don’t use cold extremities alone as a sign that a baby needs another layer.

I also wouldn’t rely entirely on the number displayed on a baby monitor. Monitor readings may not perfectly represent the conditions immediately around your baby’s sleep space, so consider the room, your baby, and their sleepwear together.

As we move into warmer weather, avoiding overheating is particularly important. The goal isn’t to make your baby as warm as possible. It’s to help them stay comfortably warm without becoming too hot.

This is exactly why I created my FREE Temperature Guide, so you have something practical to refer back to when you’re standing there wondering what your little one should wear tonight. 🤍

The fourth trimester can feel like a whole new world. 🤍

You’re learning your baby while your baby is learning everything about life outside the womb. Feeding, settling, sleep, connection, and daily rhythms can all feel unfamiliar, and there is so much information telling new parents what they “should” be doing.

That’s why I created MOTHER.

MOTHER is designed specifically for birth to 12 weeks, giving you responsive, age-specific education and practical support for this unique stage of your baby’s development.

It also includes mini videos to complement the information, plus a bonus routine for 12–16 weeks as your baby begins moving beyond those earliest newborn weeks.

This isn’t about promising perfect sleep or expecting your newborn to behave according to a rigid schedule.
It’s about helping you feel more informed about the stage you’re in, with practical information you can return to when you need it.

Bedtime timing can be one of the most important pieces of your baby’s sleep puzzle. 💤

And one of the biggest misconceptions I see is the idea that keeping your baby awake longer before bed will help them sleep later in the morning.

For younger babies, stretching that final awake period too far can actually make bedtime more difficult. Instead of focusing on making them “extra tired”, I want to find the timing that allows them to arrive at bedtime ready for sleep without becoming overwhelmed.

For babies under six months who are still having multiple naps, around 1.5 hours from the end of the final nap until asleep at bedtime can be a helpful starting point in my practice. Some babies may manage closer to 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours awake after the third nap, depending on their age, naps, and individual sleep needs.

But the important word here is asleep.

If the final nap ends at 5:00 pm and you’re working with a 1.5-hour window, you’re aiming for sleep around 6:30 pm (or sometimes even 6:!5pm!), not starting the bedtime routine at 6:30 pm.

Every baby is different, which is exactly why I created my Age-Appropriate Nap Routine Guide for 4 months to 2 years. It gives you practical guidance around naps, awake windows, and changing sleep needs so you don’t have to keep guessing.
