    Mommymaxxing, Baby Heatwave Anxiety & Quiet Quitting Parenting Advice

    2026/06/03 | 35 mins.
    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.

    The Attention Economy vs Motherhood + Baby Monitor Fail Story

    2026/05/20 | 24 mins.
    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:
    Why motherhood feels more mentally exhausting in the digital age
    The impact of social media on postpartum mental health and comparison
    What the “attention economy” actually means for mums
    Why overstimulation is one of the biggest hidden struggles of motherhood
    The shift away from sharing children online and “sharenting fatigue”
    How to feel calmer, more present and less overwhelmed
    Plus:
    A listener story: “Baby Monitor Fail” — a toe-curling moment every mum will fear (and laugh at)
    A feel-good email on finding small, realistic ways to rebuild maternal self-image
    This week’s trending topic: why influencers are stepping back from sharing their children
    A simple self-care tip to help quiet a busy mind
    If you’ve ever felt overstimulated, exhausted, or like you’re constantly comparing yourself to other mums online, this episode will remind you that you are not alone, and you are not failing.
    Because you were never meant to compete with an algorithm!

    We also dive into a viral parenting debate:
    Is going to work actually easier than staying home with a newborn?
    …and why so many mums feel their exhaustion isn’t taken seriously.
    Plus, real listener emails covering:
    Feeling alone in your relationship after baby
    Postnatal anxiety (PPA) and postpartum depression (PPD)
    A beautiful breastfeeding win after months of struggling

    Are You Doing Baby Sleep “Wrong”? Weaning Fears & The Truth About Modern Motherhood

    2026/05/06 | 25 mins.
    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:
    • The anxiety spiral of Googling baby milestones
    • Fear of choking during weaning and how to navigate it safely
    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

    2026/04/26 | 28 mins.
    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 [email protected]
