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.

A few weeks ago, I packed my bags for my third in-

If you have a little one waking to start each day

If you have a little one waking to start each day between 4 and 5 am, you’re not alone!

Many of the families I support come to me in this situation.

Their babies or children wake up between 4 and 5am, and they can’t get back to sleep.

It might not seem like an issue if you like getting up early yourself, but when a little one is up so early each day, it’s more than likely that they’re not getting the amount of sleep overnight that they need to thrive.

I’ve got a FREE Strategy Guide packed with simple, easy-to-read strategies to help your little one sleep longer and beat those early wake-ups.

Get this easy-to-understand resource now and reclaim those extra zzz’s! 😴✨
