Free Newborn Guide


Congratulations on the arrival of your new baby!

Or maybe you’re still pregnant and just want to know what to expect from newborn sleep?

Maybe this isn’t your first baby, but you could use a refresher—or a completely different approach to last time?

Either way, you’re in the right place.

We all know newborns can be unpredictable. Naps are all over the place, nights are broken, and it can feel like there’s no rhyme or reason to it. It’s easy to think the goal is to get them napping for hours and sleeping through the night as fast as possible. And sure, some babies fall into a rhythm quickly—but when they don’t, parents start asking themselves…

• Is baby getting enough milk?
• Are they in pain?
• Is something wrong?
• Are
we doing something wrong?

We crave control and predictability. By the time we have babies, most of us have built lives that feel relatively stable. We’ve figured out work, finances, and how to manage a household. But then we have a newborn, and suddenly, we’re beginners again—learning everything from scratch. And even those who are already parents still have to get to know their new babies, right?

That’s why I created this handbook, packed with everything I wish I had known as a brand-new parent.

What’s covered?

  • How newborn sleep differs from adult sleep (and why)

  • Newborn sleep phases and brain development

  • When and how the body clock develops

  • How to gently help your baby recognise day vs. night

  • How to work with your baby’s natural sleep needs instead of accidentally making things harder

  • How to support newborn naps

  • My top mindset tips for embracing this wild and wonderful season of life

In the first three months, everything unfolds in a specific order, when babies are ready. There’s no rush. Leaning into your newborn’s need for closeness, calm, and a slower pace isn’t spoiling them or creating “bad habits”, it’s just nature’s design.

Hi, I’m Katie. a registered midwife, registered Holistic Infant Sleep Coach, and mum of four. I’ve advised sleep-deprived parents, helped families in their homes, and lived through it myself...more than once! I get it.

This 40-page handbook will help you make sense of those sleepless nights and seemingly chaotic days. Because even when it feels like nothing is happening, trust me, there’s a little bit of magic at work.

Don’t underestimate how much this time can shape your baby’s brain and future love of sleep.

“We were recommended Katie by a local family who we knew shared our values and reluctance to engage a sleep consultant . Our situation when first meeting with Katie was terrible; severe sleep deprivation, exclusive contact napping, baby unable to sleep unless latched (both day and night), and a very unhappy wakeful baby over night....." read more

“Katie assisted us with our toddler twins’ sleep and helped enormously where other sleep consultants had not been able to. We went from wake ups every 3-4 hours (sometimes with both twins) to maybe one or two a night. She took a holistic approach and provided helpful new ideas....” read more
