Newborn Sleep Without the Pressure

What to Expect, What Can Help and How to Understand the Four-Month Shift

If you've found yourself Googling whether feeding to sleep causes night waking, whether your baby is overtired or whether you're somehow creating “bad habits”, this free masterclass is for you.

There's a lot of sleep nonsense out there. And when you're tired and trying to do the best for your baby, it's very easy to start doubting yourself.

I want to help you silence some of that noise. Because you know your baby better than anyone.

What we'll cover

  • What newborn sleep actually looks like – including why it can be scattered, noisy and unpredictable, and why frequent waking doesn't automatically mean something is wrong.
  • How to understand the baby in front of you – including the ways your baby communicates, how temperament can affect sleep and different ways you can help them settle.
  • Why feeding, cuddling and helping your baby to sleep aren't bad habits – and why responding to your baby doesn't mean you're creating problems for later.
  • What changes around four months – why sleep can suddenly feel very different and what you can look at if waking, naps or settling become harder.

No rigid schedules. No pressure to stop responding to your baby. And not a whiff of sleep training.

Just practical, reassuring information to help you understand what might help, what might need a closer look and what you can safely leave alone.

Hi, I'm Catherine

I'm Catherine Wasley, a mum of four and a Level 6 qualified holistic sleep coach.

I've spent more than 30 years working with babies, children and families, including as an NHS clinician, nanny and childminder.

I know what it's like to be the first-time mum desperately looking for the how-to Bible for her baby and wondering why everyone else seems to have it figured out.

These days, I know there isn't one “right” way. I'll bring what I know about sleep. You bring what you know about your baby. And we'll start there.

A settled, sleeping baby
