Hello, I am Louise.

For 25 years, families who could afford any help in the world kept asking me back. I have settled babies overnight in more than 100 private homes across four continents.

Calm First is the first time that knowledge has been available outside those homes.

If sleep feels unpredictable, you are not failing

Newborn sleep shifts in stages. What worked last week stops working this week. That is not you doing something wrong. It is the stage changing.

Every night spent guessing is another broken night. It ends the moment you know your stage.

What you will know after 2 minutes

  • Exactly where you are tonight

    Most parents use four month advice on a newborn. I will tell you precisely which stage you are in.

  • Why this week feels different

    Sleep shifts in predictable stages. I will show you the pattern. Once you see it, nothing feels random.

  • What to do tonight

    One focus for tonight. Not a manual. Not 40 tabs at 2am. Calm first, then order, then repeat.
