Newborn Sleep Support
Calm, development-led guidance from birth until around five months — when sleep is still developing.
Calm Foundations
The early weeks and months are intense, unpredictable, and overwhelming — and the fact that sleep advice is often contradictory doesn’t help.
The truth is, the newborn stage feels hard because it is hard. But understanding what’s happening in your baby’s body, and learning how to bring gentle structure into the chaos, can make a profound difference to how you experience this stage.
Calm Foundations is a self-paced online guide that supports parents through the fourth trimester (and a little beyond) with education, reassurance, realistic expectations, and practical, actionable guidance. It’s too early for sleep training - but never too early to build good sleep habits.
What this course is (and isn’t)
Calm Foundations is a guide to making newborn sleep feel less mysterious and more manageable.
Calm sleep support at this age looks like:
Understanding what’s normal to reduce parental anxiety
Implementing predictable but responsive routines and rhythms
Understanding hunger and sleep cues
Supporting sleep to avoid overstimulation or overtiredness
Rather than chasing schedules or independence, which are not developmentally-appropriate at this age, this is a season to prioritise connection, safety, and predictability — laying the foundations for more consolidated sleep when baby is older.
Think steady support, not quick fixes.

What Does Success Look Like?
In the newborn months, success isn’t about perfect sleep — or anywhere close. It’s about understanding your baby and implementing developmentally-appropriate early wins. Some of the common ones I encourage are:
Understanding wake windows and sleep cues to reduce guesswork and overtiredness
Helping your baby fall asleep more quickly and easily, often within 5–15 minutes
Being able to put your baby down in their crib for at least one nap a day
Building up to at least one longer stretch of sleep overnight (at least 5-6 hours)
Implementing a flexible but predictable rhythm for feeding, play, and sleep
What If I Need More Support?
This guide covers everything I believe is developmentally-appropriate for newborns from birth until around 5 months of age. Newborn sleep is still developing, and frequent waking is normal. Calm Foundations helps sleep feel more manageable by helping parents understand newborn sleep, support regulation, and introduce gentle sleep foundations.
As your baby grows, they will become developmentally ready for additional support, including sleep training if appropriate. From 5 months+, I offer personalised 1:1 coaching.
