No Routine, No Guilt: Co-Sleeping, Breastfeeding Backlash & ‘Just You Wait’ Warnings

Charlotte Smith Season 3 Episode 4

Welcome to The Night Feed, the podcast that keeps brand new mums company during those lonely, middle-of-the-night feeds. I’m Charlotte, and in this episode, we’re tackling the all-too-familiar “just you wait” comments and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) 'resentment' from older generations of mums.

We’ll chat about:

  • The reality of not having a newborn routine (and why that’s okay)
  • The ups and downs of co-sleeping
  • A truly magical moment I had with my 4-year-old
  • Karen Millen’s controversial take on breastfeeding that's sparking conversation
  • And why it’s time to start dropping the mum guilt

If you’re rocking, feeding, crying or just scrolling through the night this space is for you. You’re doing far better than you think, and you’re not alone here.

💌 I’d love to hear your questions, confessions, stories, and midnight thoughts.
