Being the default parent is a weight you can’t explain until you’ve carried it.

The long days at home.

The pressure of being the only one who can calm them.

Picking up everything because your partner is at work.

Losing the parts of yourself you once recognised - your identity, your confidence, even knowing what to wear on a body that no longer feels like yours.

If this is you, I see you. I’ve lived this.

Being a breastfeeding, sleep‑deprived default parent on mat leave took me to some very dark places.

So many of my clients share these same stories - and it’s exactly why I built my sleep coaching business. To support the woman behind the exhaustion. The mother with a brilliant brain. The parent who wants sleep solutions that align with her values.

💛 If you’re ready for support that sees you, not just the sleep struggle, you’ll find everything you need in the link in my bio.

That one thing? Doing bedtime in the right order.

⭐️ I’m Katie, holistic infant sleep coach and mum of two boys, helping awesome mums get more sleep with absolutely no sleep training.

✨Comment BEDTIME and I’ll send you the EXACT routine that transformed our chaotic bedtimes and gave me back evenings chilling on the sofa with my husband 👌🏼

I used to dread bedtime.
The crying, the battles, the endless settling… our evenings felt like chaos on repeat.
And honestly? I thought that was just “normal” for us.

But then I changed ONE thing.
A simple wind‑down routine that shifted everything from overstimulated and wired… to calm, connected and ready for sleep.

It’s the exact routine that helped us finally get our evenings back - and it’s built with a few pieces of my signature sleep method woven in.

I’m not gatekeeping this.
There are too many tired mums struggling through tricky bedtimes thinking it’s their fault. It’s not.

You just need the right steps, in the right order.

Comment BEDTIME and I’ll send you the free routine so you can make bedtime feel easier tonight.

💛 And please - share this with another exhausted mum who needs a win.

Whether you’re feeding to sleep or trying to move feeding away from sleep… the goal is the same: smoother, calmer put-downs.

This is one of the most common challenges my clients come to me with (and what fills my DMs), so I wanted to break down what actually helps - without guilt, without pressure, and without forcing a method that doesn’t fit your family.

Inside this reel I’m sharing simple strategies from my SOULFUL Sleep Method to make whichever route you choose feel easier and more sustainable.

When we work together 1:1 or in my group program, I give you the full DL on why put downs can be tricky, and how we can make it all feel easier and calmer with a fully responsive approach that never compromises connection. ❤️

Questions? Drop them below. And if you know a mum who’s struggling with this, send this her way. 🤍

For my clients - working mums of little ones struggling with overnight waking, split nights, tricky co‑sleeping, and the kind of burnout that makes you feel like you’re running on fumes… I’m almost never the first place they go for help.
But I’m always the last.

Follow for responsive sleep advice that actually works ⭐️

Because before they find me, they’ve already tried everything:

• A sleep training plan that made your stomach twist
• Your friend’s “this worked for my baby” routine
• Copilot (yep, even the AI got a go)
• Magnesium
• Asking your GP mate
• Paying for a download
• Paying for a sleep consultant
• Googling at 3am
• Even wondering if melatonin might be the answer

And still… nothing changes.

Not because you’re doing anything wrong.
Not because you’re not trying hard enough.
But because you didn’t have the right person or the right approach for you and your baby.

You’re a capable‑as‑hell woman who gets things done. You can sort everything. Except your baby’s sleep. You were exhausted, desperate, and doing your best.

But here’s where it fell apart…

Your baby felt that stress, became more dysregulated, and the cycle kept feeding itself.

Sleep deprivation → dysregulation → more wake‑ups → more stress → repeat.

And you have no idea how to break it.

Until now.

I’m Katie, a holistic infant sleep coach for working mums who need more rest but don’t want to sleep train.
And I know what you’re thinking (because I used to think it too):
“Surely all that gentle, responsive stuff doesn’t actually work.”

Well… it worked for Jenny.

“Olivia sleeps through the night and I’m getting a full night’s sleep. It’s been absolutely life-changing for us. It’s not just the program - it’s Katie that makes the difference.”

If this feels like the transformation you’re longing for, and you’re ready to finally break free from the sleep‑deprivation‑burnout cycle, follow and let’s rewrite your nights - and your life - together.

Co‑sleeping often begins as a lifeline 🌙 - a way to survive the newborn nights and soak up the closeness you crave with your baby. For many mums, it feels like the most natural, loving choice.

But what happens when that lifeline starts to fray? When the nights that once felt comforting begin to feel heavy, uncomfortable, and lonely?

That’s the moment so many mums reach out to me. Not because they’ve “failed,” but because co‑sleeping has stopped giving them the rest and connection they hoped for.

And the truth is: you’re not alone, and you’re not to blame.

You know all too well what happens when co‑sleeping goes wrong - the aches, the broken sleep, the missing intimacy, the quiet resentment you never thought you’d feel. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s more common than you think.

💬 I’d love to hear from you:
Have you experienced any of these struggles with co‑sleeping? Share your story in the comments 👇 - because talking about it is the first step to change.

And if you’re ready to move gently towards better nights, DM me READY ✨ and let’s explore how I can help you break free from co‑sleeping that’s causing burnout.

So many parents don’t realise those middle‑of‑the‑night screams aren’t “bad habits” - they’re calls for connection. Your baby is checking: Are you still there? Will you come if I need you?

And the change you need to make isn’t sleep training. It’s more connection ❤️

⭐️I’m Katie, responsive infant sleep coach for working mums who don’t want to sleep train. Follow for more science-backed no-cry-it-out advice.

When childcare begins, your child’s developing object permanence gets shaken. They know you exist even when they can’t see you… but they’re not always sure you’ll come back. That uncertainty can make cortisol spike when they wake and don’t immediately feel you close.

This is why you suddenly see clinginess, tears at drop‑off, false starts, frequent wakes, and refusing to settle alone. Their nervous system is asking for safety.

✨Here are 3 things you can start today to ease separation anxiety and support sleep:

1. Fill their connection cup before and after childcare.
Meaningful, unrushed time with you helps them regulate after a day apart. Eye contact, cuddles, chatting, play. Leave the dishwasher - this matters way more for sleep.

2. Create a longer, more purposeful bedtime routine.
A rushed bedtime = a wired nervous system.
Aim for around an hour from start to finish:
milk → bath → pyjamas → stories in the sleep sack → cuddles + songs → into the cot. This slow step‑down helps their body shift into sleep mode.

3. Always go to your child when they call out overnight and you know they’re not going to settle without you.
Responsiveness builds trust. Trust builds safety. Safety builds better sleep. When you consistently come, cortisol drops and nights usually calm again within a week.

100% of my clients say these practical tips surprised them with how effective they were.
This is why I built a whole section inside my Sleep Comeback program for working mums on how to protect sleep during childcare transitions.
