Calm First Baby Sleep by Louise Watling
Confused About Your Baby’s Sleep?
Baby sleep changes quickly in the first year. What works one week can suddenly stop working and that doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong.
Take the short assessment to find out what stage you’re in and what actually helps right now.

If sleep feels unpredictable, you’re not failing
Most parents aren’t struggling because they’re doing the “wrong” thing. They’re struggling because baby sleep isn’t one problem. It changes by stage.
Newborn sleep looks different from a four month regression. Sleep around childcare looks different again. And what helped before may not fit your baby now.
The fastest way to feel calmer is to stop guessing what applies and get clear on what stage you’re actually in.
How I help families (calmly and practically)
Column 1: Diagnose the stage
Sleep issues look different at different ages. The first job is clarity.
Column 2: Explain what’s happening
No jargon. No overwhelm. Just what’s normal, what’s not, and why.
Column 3: Guide you through the next step
One clear focus. Less overthinking. Less reacting at 2am.

Explore sleep by stage
If you like to read first, start with the stage that matches your baby right now.
Card 1: Newborn Sleep (0–6 weeks)
What’s normal, why sleep is fragmented, and what helps first.
Card 2: Early Weeks (6–12 weeks)
How to protect progress without overcorrecting.
Card 3: Sleep Regression / Rhythm Changes (3–5 months)
When sleep suddenly worsens and how to reset calmly.
Card 4: Life Changes (work, childcare, travel)
Keeping nights stable when days are out of your control.
Card 5: Independence & Boundaries (9–12+ months)
When bedtime becomes a battle and boundaries matter most.
(Each card links to a stage pillar page. Every pillar page routes back to the assessment.)
A calm, experienced approach — not internet noise
Why families trust Louise
I have worked overnight in private homes for over 25 years, supporting families from newborn to one year. I’ve spent years working overnight in real homes with real families. The kind of nights where everyone is exhausted and nothing feels straightforward.
My approach is simple: calm first, then a repeatable order, then stop changing things. It’s built for real nights and not internet perfection.
Because when parents feel calmer and more confident, sleep improves faster.
