In this episode, I'm chatting about surviving the fearless one-year-old stage, why I disappeared for a week during the summer holidays, and the book that left me sobbing. I read a lovely listener email with advice for parents preparing for nursery, ask the question every mum wishes she'd been asked before having a baby, and share a heartfelt email about the greatest postpartum gift of all: someone simply showing up. I also talk about World Breastfeeding Week, why support for mums matters just as much as feeding babies, and finish with a simple self-care reminder to savour those rare, quiet moments when your little one is happily playing.

| Are Modern Mums Narcissistic? Erica Komisar's Controversial Claim | 25 Jun 2026 | 00:24:59 | |
Modern motherhood is loud. Between social media, parenting advice, notifications and the endless mental load, many mums aren't lacking self-care, they're lacking silence. In this episode, I share one simple, free self-care habit that can help calm your nervous system without needing childcare, money or hours of spare time: creating a daily "No Input" pocket. If you're feeling overstimulated, touched out or mentally exhausted, this episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is... nothing at all.

| Did Covid Kill “The Village”? and Avoiding Nipple Confusion | 11 Jun 2026 | 00:32:12 | |
Did Covid quietly destroy “the village” mothers once relied on? In this episode, I explore how motherhood has changed since the pandemic and whether modern parenting has become far more isolated than previous generations. From family “dropping in” to neighbours helping with babies, many mums grew up hearing stories about a village that simply doesn’t seem to exist anymore. But did Covid permanently shift the way we parent, socialise and ask for help? Plus: If you’ve ever felt lonely during motherhood, overwhelmed by parenting expectations, or wondered where “the village” went, this episode is for you.

| The Attention Economy vs Motherhood + Baby Monitor Fail Story | 20 May 2026 | 00:24:44 | |
Why does modern motherhood feel so overwhelming, even when you’re doing everything right? In this episode of The Night Feed, I explore the growing impact of the attention economy on mums, and why today’s mothers are experiencing a level of mental load, overstimulation and pressure like never before. From endless scrolling during night feeds to constant comparison and parenting advice online, it’s easy to feel like you’re always “on” and never quite enough. In this episode, I cover:

| Are You Doing Baby Sleep “Wrong”? Weaning Fears & The Truth About Modern Motherhood | 06 May 2026 | 00:25:19 | |
In this episode of The Night Feed, I explore how baby sleep differs around the world and why there’s no single “right” way to do it. From sleep training in the US to co-sleeping and slower-paced parenting in places like Sweden and Spain, this conversation is a reminder that cultural norms shape how we parent more than we realise. I also talk about the pressure millennial parents are under; raising children in a more isolated, expensive, and information-heavy world, while still trying to be deeply present and connected. Plus, I answer two listener questions: If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or like you’re doing it wrong this podcast is here to reassure you that you’re not. | |||
| Why Your Baby Will Only Sleep on You, Mum Comparison & Decision Fatigue | 26 Apr 2026 | 00:28:40 | |
Welcome back to The Night Feed. This episode is all about the mental load of motherhood; from decision fatigue to baby sleep struggles, comparison, and those days where you feel completely touched out. I talk about one of those nights where everything feels harder and why, even after no sleep, you will get through the next day (even if it’s powered by coffee). We dive into decision fatigue in motherhood; that strange moment when the baby finally sleeps and you suddenly don’t know what to do with yourself. After thousands of micro-decisions every day, your brain just shuts down. If you’ve ever stood in the kitchen holding a muslin wondering how your life got here, this will feel very familiar. I also share two listener emails - keep yours coming in to thenightfeedpodcast@gmail.com | |||
| Maternal Body Image, Mother-in-Law Boundaries & Postpartum Rage | 15 Apr 2026 | 00:39:13 | |
Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I’m talking about some of the more emotional parts of early motherhood: postpartum body image, setting boundaries with family, and the rise of something many mums are quietly experiencing: postpartum rage. I share a listener email about struggling with maternal self-image after having a baby. Even after a healthy pregnancy, body changes, constant hunger from breastfeeding, and lack of time can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. I talk through practical, realistic ways to feel more like you again without pressure or unrealistic expectations. We also dive into a situation so many mums will recognise: a mother-in-law posting photos of your baby on social media without asking. If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable setting boundaries or worried about upsetting family, we talk about how to handle it clearly, calmly, and without guilt. In this week’s trending topic, I talk about postpartum rage and why so many mums are talking about it right now, what it actually is, and how overwhelm, mental load, and lack of rest can show up as anger. If you’ve ever felt snappy, overstimulated, or not quite like yourself, this part will resonate. This episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone in how you’re feeling. You’re not failing. You’re just carrying a lot. | |||
| How to Overcome New Mum Struggles: Car Seat Refusal, 5am Wake Ups & More | 08 Apr 2026 | 00:26:30 | |
Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I’m talking about some of the real-life challenges that come up in early motherhood — from car seat refusal to disrupted sleep as the mornings get lighter. I share a beautiful parenting idea sent in by a listener — the “Sweet Dream Ticket” — a simple but powerful way to help children feel safe at night and ease nightmares. We then get into your emails.

| Social Media & Motherhood, Mum Anxiety, Comparison & Mental Load | 03 Apr 2026 | 00:25:39 | |
Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I’m talking about something that affects almost every new mum, whether we realise it or not — the impact of social media on motherhood, our mental health, and how we see ourselves. I share a conversation I had this week about how susceptible we are as mums to algorithms and online marketing. As one of the biggest consumer groups, we’re constantly being shown carefully curated content designed to make us take action and not necessarily to make us feel good. We talk about the research behind this. How increased social media use in new mums is linked to higher anxiety and low mood. How seeing idealised versions of motherhood can lower self-esteem and make us question everything we’re doing. And why scrolling at night during feeds can actually make exhaustion and mental health worse the next day. If you’ve ever thought “why do I feel worse after scrolling?” or felt more confused after consuming lots of advice online, this episode will explain why. From decision fatigue to comparison and the pressure of “perfect motherhood,” I break down what’s really happening in your brain. I also share an idea I’ve been working on — creating a calmer, quieter space for mums away from social media. A place for real connection, not comparison. Plus, we talk about how to handle unsolicited advice from older generations without spiralling or doubting yourself. thenightfeedpodcast@gmail.com | |||
| The Rise of Slow Motherhood and Being a "Good Mum" in a Broken System | 25 Mar 2026 | 00:32:09 | |
Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I talk about slow motherhood, contact nap guilt, and being a "good mum" in a broken system. I start by sharing a trend that’s gaining traction this year called slow motherhood. It’s the opposite of hyper-productive parenting culture and focuses on simpler days, fewer activities, less pressure to optimise childhood, and more time at home with your baby. A listener writes in about contact naps and the guilt she feels for not always loving them. With so much pressure online to embrace contact napping, she wonders if preferring her baby to sleep independently sometimes means she’s doing something wrong. We talk about trusting your instincts and cutting through the noise of social media parenting advice. We also talk about the invisible work of motherhood. A message from Mailee reflects on how relentless home life can feel when you’re caring for young children. The washing, cooking, cleaning and resetting the house can feel endless and unseen, especially compared with a partner’s work outside the home. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing motherhood “right,” this episode is a reminder to step back from the noise and trust yourself.

| Dealing With Postpartum Rage and The Reality of Maternity Leave | 18 Mar 2026 | 00:33:08 | |
Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I’m talking about some of the things that quietly weigh on so many new mums — insomnia during night feeds, the exhaustion of baby sleep struggles, and the growing urge many of us feel to quit social media. A listener shares two simple things that helped her cope with postpartum insomnia when lying awake at 3am after settling the baby. From turning the clock away to doing a simple body scan, we talk about small ways to ease the pressure when sleep just won’t come. Another mum writes in asking how to quit social media scrolling while feeding or contact napping. When every scroll leads to comparison about baby sleep, routines, and motherhood, it can leave you feeling worse instead of better. We talk about healthier ways to fill those quiet moments and why so many mums are stepping back from social media during maternity leave. We also hear from a very tired mum with a 5-month-old waking every two to three hours overnight. If you’ve ever Googled “why does my baby wake every 2 hours” or wondered if you’re doing something wrong with baby sleep routines, this conversation will feel very familiar. This episode is for any mum lying awake at night feeds, questioning baby sleep, or feeling overwhelmed by the noise of the internet. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just in the thick of early motherhood. Keep your emails coming thenightfeedpodcast@gmail.com | |||
| How to get Baby to Sleep Longer Stretches and Being Afraid of Labour | 11 Mar 2026 | 00:26:18 | |
Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I’m talking about some of the biggest worries new and expectant mums quietly carry; baby sleep struggles, the pressure to have a baby sleeping through the night, and the fear many women feel before giving birth. A listener writes in during a 3am feed asking the question so many parents Google in the middle of the night: how do I get my baby to sleep longer stretches? When your newborn wakes every 90 minutes it can feel like everyone else’s baby has figured out sleep except yours. We talk honestly about normal newborn sleep, the confusion caused by endless advice online, and whether baby sleep really does improve on its own. Another mum at 38 weeks pregnant shares how scared she feels about giving birth. Even when you’re excited to meet your baby, the unknown of labour and delivery can feel overwhelming. We talk about why those feelings are completely normal and how many mums experience fear before birth. This episode is for tired mums searching baby sleep answers at 3am, and for mums-to-be lying awake wondering how they’ll get through labour. You’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong.

| Survival Mode, Postpartum Insomnia & Missing Yourself in Motherhood | 25 Feb 2026 | 00:37:26 | |
Welcome back to The Night Feed. This week I’m talking honestly about survival mode in early motherhood; the snappiness, the exhaustion, the guilt, and the parts we don’t always admit out loud. Here's the link to my Whatnot show if you're interested in joining for a chat tomorrow: https://www.whatnot.com/s/m9r6Zgli If you'd like a free £10 to spend use this link: https://whatnot.com/invite/thenightfeedpodcast If you'd like to start selling in there and get your first £150 click here: https://whatnot.com/invite/seller/thenightfeedpodcast If you'd like to donate to my buy me a coffee it's this link ❤️: buymeacoffee.com/TheNightFeed If you’ve felt overstimulated, short-tempered, or not quite like yourself lately, this episode is for you. I open up about having a snappy week, how lack of sleep and hormones can leave us feeling unlike ourselves, and why so many mums are living in survival mode while being made to feel bad for it. We talk about postpartum insomnia; that cruel twist when your baby finally sleeps but you lie awake staring at the ceiling. A listener shares how unfair it feels to “earn” the rest and not be able to take it. Another mum writes in at 16 weeks postpartum about having no time for herself. The guilt of asking for a break. Missing who she was before. Loving this stage and grieving her old life at the same time. I also share a self-care shift I call the “Parallel You” check-in; a small daily way to stay connected to your identity beyond survival mode motherhood. This episode is about sleep deprivation, mum guilt, postpartum emotions, and remembering that this season is just a small percentage of your life. If you feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water right now, you’re not failing. You’re just deep in it. As always keep your emails coming: thenightfeedpodcast@gmail.com | |||
| Baby Illness Etiquette & Lowering Your Standards as a New Mum | 18 Feb 2026 | 00:41:51 | |
Welcome back to The Night Feed. This episode is for the overstimulated, under-slept, slightly feral mums in the trenches of early motherhood. Firstly, here's the link to my 'Buy me a Coffee' page if you would like to donate anything towards the podcast it would be hugely appreciated ❤️ buymeacoffee.com/TheNightFeed Tonight, I talk about child illness etiquette at baby groups and the awkward question of when to stay home with a poorly child. How contagious is too contagious? Is it unreasonable to leave? And why one “little cold” can mean ten days of broken sleep for another mum. I dive into the reality of baby sleep struggles and how parents whose babies sleep through the night really are living a different life. When your baby wakes every 45 minutes, exhaustion shapes everything; your mood, your patience, your mental health. There’s also an honest (and hilarious) conversation about how we’ve all lowered our standards since having a baby. From sick on shoulders to floor snacks and rogue nappies at 4am, survival mode is real. We touch on the trending 75 Hard challenge and whether extreme self-discipline fits into early motherhood, plus a gentle reminder that babies don’t keep and perfection can wait. If you’re tired, touched out, and wondering if you’re the only one barely holding it together, you’re not. You’re just deep in it. Keep your emails coming: thenightfeedpodcast@gmail.com | |||
| Mum Loneliness, Contact Naps, Phone Guilt & “You’ve Got Your Hands Full” | 11 Feb 2026 | 00:30:02 | |
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 worrying about “bad habits,” and the frustration of never getting real time alone while being criticised for phone use. We also talk about why loneliness is trending in the smartphone era, how being constantly connected can still leave us feeling isolated, and why real human connection matters more than ever in early motherhood. This episode is for any mum feeling unseen, touched out, overwhelmed, or quietly lonely. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re not unreasonable. And you’re not alone.

| Is Sleep Training Harmful? The Cry It Out Debate - A Deep Dive | 04 Feb 2026 | 00:31:45 | |
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 listener email from a mum caught between exhaustion and instinct, unpack what people really mean when they say “cry it out,” and gently walk through the science around attachment, stress, and cortisol without fear-mongering or judgement. This episode isn’t about telling you what to do. Because most parents aren’t choosing a method, they’re choosing survival. In this episode we talk about:

| The Things No One Warned New Mums About | 28 Jan 2026 | 00:30:20 | |
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 parents she once judged before becoming a mum herself. It’s honest, funny, and painfully relatable. A reminder that you don’t truly understand the mental load of motherhood until you’re living inside it. We then talk about what’s trending right now. The rise of posts called Things No One Warned Me About Postpartum. Not shock content. Not advice. Just quiet truths. The loneliness. The boredom. The grief for your old life alongside the love for your baby. The anger at systems and expectations. The relief of finally hearing someone else say, did this happen to you too? This episode is about naming the parts of postpartum life that were filtered out for years. Because once something has a name, it stops feeling like a personal failure. Self-care this week is simple. Once or twice a day, take five to ten minutes with no phone while your baby is settled. No scrolling. No fixing. Just being.

| The Quiet Shock of Early Motherhood, Feeling Lost & Not Ready to Go Back to Work | 14 Jan 2026 | 00:26:29 | |
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 chaos are expected, and laughter is just for us. A listener writes in during a 3:14am feed about feeling like she’s disappeared since becoming a mum, grieving who she was before while loving her baby fiercely. I talk about why feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re broken. It usually means you’re becoming someone new. Another mum shares the heartbreak of going back to work when her baby is just three months old: the grief of the bubble ending, the anger at short maternity leave, and the ache of stretching bedtime just to steal more closeness. This episode is for anyone awake right now, feeling tender, unsure, and quietly overwhelmed. You’re not alone. Keep your emails coming to thenightfeedpodcast@gmail.com | |||

This week, I’m talking about what Christmas can really look like when you’re a new mum.

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.
