Tips for breastfeeding a newborn

If you’re here—on the edge of burnout, heart full of guilt but body begging for rest—I want you to know this: 💛 Sensory input matters when it comes to sleep 💛 Sleep training doesn’t mean you love your toddler less. It doesn’t make you harsh, cold, or selfish. It means you’re human. And you need support. We do sleep training differently—with heart, with mindfullness, and with you every step of the way. You’re not failing. You’re just ready. #BraveLittleBaby #ToddlerSleepTips #BedtimeStruggles #GentleParenting #ToddlerTantrums #SleepSupport #SleepConsultant #ToddlerLife #BedtimeRoutine #SleepHelp #SleepTrainingSupport #ParentingHelp #PositiveParenting #SleepAdvice #ToddlerMoms #MomSupport #ParentingCommunity #SleepMatters #SleepConsultantSA #BraveParenting #ToddlersOfInstagram #ParentingWithLove #TantrumTips #BedtimeResistance #ToddlerBehaviour #BedtimeBoundaries #ConnectedParenting #GentleSleep #ParentingJourney #MomLifeUnfiltered

We’re so grateful to our influencer moms who help us spread the word within their communities. Our relationship with them is simple: we offer our services to support them at no cost, and if they find value in the process, they choose to share their experience through stories or posts to help other moms. It always comes from a place of genuine trust and good faith.

Here’s a lovely example from @karliemoller , who recently did a Q&A in her Stories for her own community. Not only did she mention us, but she also took the time to explain what sleep training is all about. Thank you, Karlie we truly appreciate it!

I remember one mom in tears on a call telling me:
“I did everything right… I followed a routine,… but he’s still waking to feed. Did I mess this up?”

No. She didn’t mess anything up.
And if you’re wondering the same… you didn’t either.

Because here’s the truth most sleep advice skips:

👉 Sleep training doesn’t always mean dropping all night feeds.
👉 It doesn’t mean your baby should sleep 12 hours straight.
👉 It doesn’t mean you’re failing if they still wake to feed at 4 months.

It means giving your baby the tools to fall asleep on their own. 👏

But some babies especially at 4 months still need one or two feeds overnight.
Not out of habit. Out of need.

And guess what? You can teach great sleep habits AND keep a night feed.
That’s not a contradiction.
That’s responsive parenting.

So if your baby wakes for a feed at 2am or you have a Dreamfeed that works and you’re wondering if you’re doing something wrong.
You’re not.
You’re meeting a biological need.
You’re doing just fine.

Let’s stop measuring success by how long our babies sleep, and start with what’s actually normal.

Meet the Brave Little Baby Dream Team
Helping you survive sleep… with snacks, spreadsheets, and a whole lot of heart.

👩‍🍼 Zanda – The Visionary & Baby Whisperer
Lover of tea (by the pot), travel, and newborn snuggles. Mama of three boys and our resident sleep nerd who actually enjoys writing course content.

🌸 Lindi – The Grounded Soul & Routine Queen
If calm had a mascot, it would be Lindi. She’s a veggie-growing, bread-baking, yoga-loving introvert who brings a deep sense of peace to every family she supports. Also the first to suggest “just breathe” when we’re in chaos. And yes, her coffee is ground fresh every morning.

🧵 Carla – The Real-Life Supermom
Nurse by profession, toddler-wrangler by day, crochet enthusiast by night. Carla is proof that you can work full-time, sleep-train kindly, and still find time for hobbies. She’s practical, passionate, and always ready with a Plan B (and C).

💃 Bianca – The Firecracker With a Heart of Gold
She’s warm, wise, and just a little bit spicy. Bianca’s the consultant who tells it like it is—with love. A trained sleep coach and natural encourager, she’ll cheer you on while helping your baby sleep like a dream.

Nice to meet you! Welcome to our corner 🩷🫶🏻

Change can feel scary especially when it comes to your baby’s sleep.
But you know what’s also scary? Staying the same.
Living in survival mode. Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and hoping things will somehow improve.

I know this journey all too well. I’m a mom (Zanda) of three boys, and I only did sleep training with my third son when he was 9 months old.
I still wish I had made this change with my eldest it would have changed so much for our family.

But I didn’t know what I know now.
I didn’t know there was a responsive way.
That we could respond with love, while still teaching healthy sleep habits.

Knowing when the time is right is different for every family but if you’re reading this and feeling that tug, it might be your moment.

Let’s chat about what’s possible.
Book a sleep review call where we’ll talk about your little one’s needs, our package options, and our, responsive philosophy. You don’t have to figure this out alone. Comment CHANGE…. For a link to a 15 min Free call
