An Unusual Baby Sleep Tip, A Full Moon Meltdown & Fireworks
Welcome back to The Night Feed, your cosy, honest companion for the sleepless hours of new motherhood.
This week’s unpaid sponsor: Fireworks.
Because nothing says “relax, the baby’s finally asleep” quite like a 45-minute pyrotechnic display - happy Bonfire Night fellow parents 🫠
In this episode, I dive into:
🌕 Full Moon Energy – Does the moon really mess with our moods and sleep? I break down the science and the feels; from studies on melatonin to why midwives swear by “busier nights.”
🦷 Teething Talk – From fridge-cold toys to amber necklaces, we explore what works, what doesn’t, and what’s actually safe.
💔 Losing Friends After Baby – A moving letter from listener Hannah in Bristol on how motherhood changed her friendships, and learning to find new, deeper connections.
🚗 Car Cheat Code – The unexpected sound that instantly calms a crying baby during car meltdowns (hint: it’s not The Happy Song).
👶 “I’m With the Boomers on This One” – A hilarious thread of mum opinions that might just restore your sanity:
- Babies need socks.
- Crying doesn’t equal trauma.
- Not every toy has to be wooden and beige.
- It’s okay if you fed your baby from a jar.
🎄 What’s Trending: Elf on the Shelf season is coming: brace yourselves.
🫶 Self-Care Reminder: Lower the bar, and call it self-care.
Sometimes the most nurturing thing you can do is let the laundry sit, eat toast for dinner, and stop trying to be the “old you.”
✨ Quote of the Week:
“When you stop chasing the version of you before motherhood, you finally meet the stronger, softer version you were meant to become.”
