No one tells you about the 2am desperation, or the feeling that you're the only one struggling. You're not. And it's not because you're doing something wrong. We're two South African mums who've been exactly where you are, and this is the gentle plan we wish we'd had.
🤰 Still pregnant? The best time to take this course is before your baby arrives. Go through it when you're calm, so you're ready when calm feels impossible.
"This is supposed to come naturally."
it doesn't.Nobody knows how until someone shows them.
Who this is for
Already have a newborn
You're exhausted and running on empty.
Your baby won't settle without being held
You're feeding, rocking, or patting for hours
You've tried everything and nothing sticks
You feel like every other mum has figured this out
You're too ashamed to admit how hard it really is
Still pregnant
You're the kind of mum who prepares.
You've read the books but they all say something different
You want to do this the gentle way, with no crying it out
You'd like a routine, but don't know where to start
You want to feel ready, not reactive
You'd love to enjoy the newborn phase instead of just surviving it
Why it feels so impossible
You gave birth, fell in love, and then found out sleep is a full-time job nobody trained you for.
Newborn sleep changes week by week. The internet contradicts itself. Family advice is 30 years out of date. And the sleep deprivation? That makes everything harder to figure out.
So you don't need to try harder. You need a clear plan from people who actually know, and who've been exactly where you are right now.
"1 month old. Struggle with silent reflux. Any sleep tips? We are running on empty." A real message from one of our mums. We get these every single day.

What changes
Imagine this a few weeks from now.
You'll feel like yourself again: rested, confident, and clear.
You know what your baby needs. You have a plan that flexes with them. You're no longer just reacting. You're leading, gently.
And the best part? You did it without leaving your baby to cry. Without doing anything that didn't feel right. You did it your way.
Watch it on your phone, in the middle of the night.
Short 2 to 3 minute video lessons from Lindi and Zanda that you can watch while feeding or contact napping, on any device.

Bonus: 3–4 month guide + back-to-work prep
Everything you need to navigate the regression and return to work without losing the progress you've made.
Not a chatbot. A real conversation with someone who knows your baby.
Every purchase includes a 30-minute one-on-one call with Lindi or Zanda. You bring your specific baby, your specific questions, your specific situation, and they look at it with you.
This isn't a bonus. It's the thing that makes the course work for your family, not just families in general.

Normally R450. Yours free.

"I only started this course when my daughter was 11 weeks and to be honest, I wasn't convinced it would work...but I was so wrong! I wish I knew about it sooner. It would have saved me so much stress and tears. My husband and I did the course together so we are consistent. If you're thinking about purchasing this course, let me save you some time. Do it!"
Simone
★★★★★
"The Newborn Sleep Course was probably the BEST gift I received at my baby shower. My son is now 4 months old and starting the dreaded sleep regression, but with everything I have learned, I don't feel as hopeless as I thought I would. It helps you add structure to life with a new baby and it WORKS!"

★★★★★
"Inside this course you won't be told to let baby cry. Instead of sleep training from birth, Zanda and Lindi help your baby start to shape how they understand sleep. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a child."
Midwife & Baby Clinic Sister
★★★★★
"The newborn course helped me develop good sleeping habits and a solid yet flexible routine that works for us. Zanda and Lindi are extremely helpful and the guidance they give is unique to your situation."
Rachel
★★★★★
"Thank goodness I stumbled across Brave Little Baby a few months before my baby was born. With so much noise from the internet and other mothers, it helps to get professional, knowledgeable advice instead."

Your sleep sidekicks
Lindi and Zanda: two South African mums who've been exactly where you are.
We're not here to judge your choices, tell you what you should be doing, or make you feel guilty for the choices you've already made.
We're qualified sleep consultants and we're also mums. We've sat up at 3am with a baby who wouldn't sleep. We know what it feels like from both sides.
This course is everything we wished we'd had in those early weeks, and everything our clients ask us for.
Qualified sleep consultants with years of hands-on experience
Course reviewed and approved by clinical experts
Six babies between us. We've lived every part of this
No cry-it-out, ever
What we believe
The things we'll always tell you.
01
This is NOT sleep training.
No leaving your baby to cry. Healthy sleep habits, built gently from the start.
02
You cannot spoil a newborn.
Responding is not creating bad habits. A baby who is held and soothed learns that the world is safe.
03
Sleep deprivation is not normal.
You don't have to push through it, and you don't need to prove you're tired enough to deserve help.
04
You don't need to push through it alone.
Asking for help isn't admitting you can't cope. It's the smartest thing you can do for yourself and your baby.

Compare: Full 1:1 sleep training at 4–6 months costs R3,000–R3,500, and 80% of mums who do this course never need it. The R1,000 you spend now could save you R2,000–R2,500 later, plus months of exhaustion.
Lifetime access means exactly that. Come back when the regression hits, when you're back at work, or when you have your second baby.
Questions
Everything you want to know first.
No. This course does not teach sleep training and there is no leaving your baby to cry. It's about building healthy sleep habits gently from the start, so that if you ever do need sleep training later, you'll need far less of it.
No, and we'd never promise that. What it does is give you the best possible foundation so sleep comes more easily. 80% of mums who do this course never need formal sleep training at all.
Yes, and we actually recommend it. You'll arrive at those first weeks with a plan already in place, instead of scrambling for answers at 2am.
Not at all. The 3–4 month section is some of the most practical content in the course. You're right on time.
This is exactly what the 30-min coach call is for. Tell us what's happening with your specific baby and we'll help you apply the course to your situation personally.
The course is primarily in English but Afrikaans is our first language, so you'll hear plenty of it. We also serve Afrikaans-speaking families and the course content applies fully to both communities.
Yes. The course covers all feeding types and nothing in it assumes one approach over the other.
Your 30-min call is the first step. If you need more, we offer full 1:1 sleep consulting packages, and mums who've done this course typically need far less of it.
Know someone who needs this?
The most useful baby shower gift nobody thinks to give.
A nappy cake is lovely. But what a new mum actually needs is someone to tell her exactly what to do when her baby won't sleep at 2am.
Buy this course for a friend, sister, or daughter who's expecting, or who's already in the thick of it. Eugenie called it "the BEST gift I received at my baby shower."
Whether your baby arrived last week or you're still waiting, you don't have to figure this out alone. A gentle plan, a personal call, and a community of mums who get it.
