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...
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...

The emotions book: The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas. 💌 Weaning Without Losing Your Mind A listener writes in about feeling overwhelmed by weaning: purées vs baby-led weaning, allergens, schedules, and Instagram meals that look better than adult dinners. I talk about how I appro...
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...
Hello and welcome back to The Night Feed. I’m Charlotte, and this episode is a gentle, honest reflection on Christmas, motherhood, and the emotional weight that often sits quietly underneath it all, especially in the newborn stage. 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...
