There’s something special and awfully sweet about your new little bundle falling asleep in your arms as you’re feeding them – happy, warm, and content with a belly full of milk and a drunk smile on their face… What’s usually not so sweet is when you’re still trying to do that months later.

The aforementioned scenario is a prime example of falling asleep feeding – but what’s important to understand is that this differs hugely from feeding to sleep. Falling asleep feeding is when your baby has a full feed, unlatches themselves, and nods off dopily and contentedly.

It’s incredibly common in the newborn days but happens among those in older age groups too – especially at that bedtime feed, when their biological drive to sleep is strong and you’ve set the scene for relaxation...

Discover practical tips and techniques to break the feeding to sleep cycle and promote healthier sleep habits for your baby. Say goodbye to nighttime wakings!

Two and a half year old Lincoln had generally been a pretty good sleeper; he thrived on routine and his mum, Tash, was good at sticking to one. However, partway through Tash’s second pregnancy, Lincoln’s sleep regressed.

Tired and feeling sick, Tash reached for quick fixes to soothe Lincoln and get him back to sleep as quickly as she was able to.

“Lincoln had been weaned off any sort of bottle for some time, but when he started waking up in the middle of the night and demanding cuddles, I gave him a bottle because it seemed easier and I needed to get him settled and back to sleep,” Tash explains...

New research confirms what many mums already feel deep in their bones, sleep deprivation is real, and it’s not “just a phase” for everyone. 💭😴

Researchers found two clear sleep patterns among new mums: some get close to average sleep, while others consistently get far less, even well below what’s healthy.

And here’s the thing: these patterns don’t just fix themselves after the newborn stage. By 12 months, most families settle into their sleep habits, for better or worse.

💡 This is why supporting families early matters.
💤 Establishing consistent routines around 3 months.
🧠 Supporting maternal mental health.
🤝 Addressing the stressors that steal our rest.

Sleep is not a luxury. It's essential for both baby and you. Let’s make room for it.

Your baby is born neurologically very immature, they don’t know the difference between night and day, and thus round the clock feeding and napping without any decent blocks of night sleep is pretty normal and to be expected.
As your newborn moves through those early months, their circadian rhythm develops, they know the difference between night and day, and lots of babies start to sleep 6-8 hours in a row around three to four months old.

This feels like bliss compared to the broken night sleep of a newborn, and as parents we breathe a sigh of relief, this is a sleeping pattern we can cope with!
But what to do when suddenly between 4-6 months your baby reverts back to waking every 2 hours overnight!...

For Amy’s first few months, sleeping had mostly been a breeze. An easy going and good sleeper, one feed would keep her asleep for up to 8 hours.

However, that all changed when Amy hit five and a half months old. All of a sudden, the great systems Amy’s Mum, Cara, had in place simply stopped working and Amy’s sleep deteriorated quickly. She began to take up to an hour to settle each evening and was waking up multiple times overnight for a feed. Night times rapidly became stressful and exhausting.

According to Cara, a month of these draining evening and overnight routines quickly started to take their toll and things felt like they were reaching a “breaking point”. Tired and unable to see an end in sight, Cara knew she was going to need some help to support Amy to improve her sleeping patterns...

It’s no surprise to me that the most common age that we start working with babies is when they hit the six month mark. There’s so much going on at six months old that can affect a little one’s sleep.

As a baby’s sleep cycle matures, they’ve likely started catnapping. You might be starting to introduce solids and move around their milk feeds, and there is (in some cases) the arrival of those first few teeth.

Some mums and dads may have been holding onto the belief that six months is somehow a magical age when the challenging sleep deprivation of having a newborn in the house will resolve. Unfortunately, this simply isn’t the case! Others may fall prey to one (or many) of the misconceptions about this age and stage… So, let’s take a look at the hurdles you might expect to encounter around the six month mark, and some advice to get you through them...
