Hi, I’m Jess. Welcome back to Feeding to Sleep, where we talk about biologically normal baby sleep, responsive nights, and what it really feels like to care for a little one day and night.

In this episode, I’m sharing a story I nearly didn’t record. It’s raw, it’s recent, and it’s honest.

Over the past few weeks, we went through a tough patch with my baby’s sleep he was waking every hour, rolling, pinching, teething, sickness… all of it. And I found myself waking up full of rage.

Which then brought on the guilt: I know this is normal, I talk about it all the time, why can’t I cope better?

In this episode I talk about:

* What this season looked like for us

* The moment I realised there was nothing I could “fix”

* What actually helped me feel more resourced

* Why not all support feels supportive (and how to spot the difference)

* How I’m doing now that we’ve come through the other side

If you’re in it right now too, I want you to know this: you’re not doing anything wrong.

This isn’t about having all the answers.

Sometimes what helps most is just knowing that you’re not alone.

Here’s the Q&A I talked about in the episode with @jillianmothers on Instagram.

Have you been through a hard time with sleep at this age (10–14 months)? What helped you feel more supported? I’d Hit reply or leave a comment so we can keep this conversation going.

With love + support,Jess

P.S. If your baby’s sleep feels harder right now than it did a few months ago, you’re not doing anything wrong. Some seasons ask more of us and that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It just means you might need a little more care too.
