I'm back after a week away in South Wales and honestly…straight back into the teething trenches. I’m talking record bad sleep, breastfeeding during a heatwave and surviving bedtime with three kids while running on fumes.

In this episode we chat:

  • Holiday survival tips for travelling with babies and toddlers
  • Baby heatwave anxiety and the panic around room temperatures, tog guides and overheating
  • Why British homes become saunas the second temperatures hit 24 degrees
  • The growing trend of mums “quiet quitting” parenting advice
  • Tracking apps, wake windows and the exhaustion of constantly analysing your baby
  • “Mommymaxxing” and the pressure to optimise every part of motherhood
  • Why modern motherhood can feel like a performance
  • Slower motherhood, overstimulation and learning to be present again

If you’ve ever found yourself Googling “is my baby too hot?”, obsessing over milestones or feeling overwhelmed by parenting content online, this episode is for you.

The Night Feed is the podcast for new mums, parents up in the night and anyone navigating modern motherhood without the filtered perfection.
