One thing I really miss as a single mum of three i

One thing I really miss as a single mum of three is getting proper one-on-one time with each of my kids.

Life is busy. There’s always someone else who needs me, somewhere we need to be, something that needs doing… and although we spend so much time together, having me completely to themselves doesn’t happen very often.

And I miss it. Turns out, they miss it too.

A beautiful friend of mine — also a single mum — suggested I start a little tradition. So, every fortnight, each of my kids gets their own date afternoon with Mum after school.

Nothing extravagant. No big plans.Just a few hours where they don’t have to share me.

Monday was Eddie’s first date.

We hung out, talked, laughed, did things he wanted to do… and at the end he looked at me and said: “Mum, that was the best day ever.”

And it reminded me of something I’m learning more and more as my kids grow. They don’t need elaborate experiences. They don’t need us constantly entertaining them or creating some picture-perfect childhood.

They just want us.

Our attention.
Our interest.
Our time.

To feel seen, to feel heard and to know that, for a little while, there is nowhere else we’d rather be ❤️

DAYLIGHT SAVING IS COMING ⏰ And if you’re already

DAYLIGHT SAVING IS COMING ⏰

And if you’re already wondering what that clock change is going to do to your baby’s sleep and routine - please don’t panic.

Daylight Saving does not need to undo all the beautiful sleep foundations you’ve worked so hard to put in place.

My Solutions to Easing into Daylight Saving Audio File was created to take the confusion out of the clock change.

I’ll talk you through the education, practical strategies and simple adjustments you can make leading up to Daylight Saving AND once the clocks have moved forward.

Because you don’t need to completely overhaul your baby’s routine.

You don’t need to spend weeks worrying about it.

And you definitely don’t need to wing it and hope for the best.

You just need to understand what to adjust, when to adjust it and why.

A little preparation can make the transition so much smoother for the whole family.

My Solutions to Easing into Daylight Saving Audio File is available now via the Sleep by Steph website.

Should I use white noise? White noise machines ha

Should I use white noise?

White noise machines have become so normalised that many parents buy one before their baby is even born.

I actually don’t recommend artificial white noise as part of a baby’s sleep environment.

Not because I’m telling you white noise is terrible.

Because my philosophy has always been to keep sleep as simple and natural as possible.

Before adding another sleep cue, another device or another thing your baby hears every single time they fall asleep, I think it’s worth asking:

Does my baby actually need this to sleep?

White noise can mask environmental sounds, and some families genuinely find it useful. That’s okay.

But babies can also become accustomed to the normal sounds of family life.

And when I’m helping families build strong sleep foundations, my goal isn’t to create the perfectly engineered conditions in which a baby has to sleep.

It’s to help sleep become something that feels increasingly familiar, comfortable and uncomplicated.

So if you’re already using white noise and it’s working for you, this isn’t a post telling you to panic and switch it off tonight.

But if you’re wondering whether you need to introduce it because everyone on Instagram seems to have one?

You don’t have to.

When it comes to baby and child sleep… less really is more!

This is why I still love what I do after all these

This is why I still love what I do after all these years.

Of course I want your baby or child to sleep better. I want nights to improve. I want naps to become easier. I want your family to feel rested.

But there’s another part of my work that means just as much to me…

I want motherhood to feel easier.

I want you to understand your little person.

I want you to feel reassured when things get wobbly.

I want you to have the confidence to know what to tweak when sleep suddenly changes - because babies grow, routines change and rough patches happen.

And I want you to know that when you need some guidance, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Because ultimately, Sleep by Steph has never just been about sleep.

It’s about supporting parents.
Building confidence.
Making family life feel lighter.
And helping everyone get the rest they deserve🤍

Today is for the dads. The beautiful dads who sh

Today is for the dads.

The beautiful dads who show up.
Who love fiercely.
Who protect, listen, guide and make their children feel safe and deeply loved.

Happy Father’s Day to you.

But today, I also want to quietly acknowledge another group of parents.

The single mums carrying parts of the load they never imagined they’d be carrying alone.

I’m one of them.

I’m still Mum. I’ll never be Dad — and I’m not trying to be.

But there are days when I have to find both the softness and the strength.

I nurture, organise, reassure, discipline, fix, advocate, protect… and somehow keep the wheels turning.

And some days, that feels really bloody hard.

So this isn’t about taking anything away from the incredible fathers who deserve to be celebrated.

It’s simply about making a little room at the table for the mums carrying an enormous load too.

To the single mums doing double-duty in their homes — I see you🤍

You don’t have to be both Mum and Dad.

Just keep being the loving, safe, steady parent your children know they can come home to.

That is more than enough.
