Baby Bitesize: Rhythm Over Routine for Smoother Sleep

  • Summary

  • In this bite-sized episode, I’m diving into one of the most powerful tools I’ve found in parenting: working with your baby’s natural rhythm instead of forcing a rigid routine.

    I’m not here to give you strict nap schedules or set times. This episode is all about understanding your baby’s circadian rhythm—their internal body clock and how aligning with it can make sleep smoother, reduce emotional meltdowns, and bring more ease to your day.


    Here’s what I’ll cover:

    • What circadian rhythm actually is and why it matters for your child’s sleep, digestion, and mood
    • The signs that your little one’s rhythm might be off (like early wakings, nap battles, and bedtime chaos)
    • Why rhythm offers more flexibility and peace of mind than routine ever could
    • Three simple ways how you can support your baby’s rhythm today

    I want you to feel less stressed, more connected, and confident in tuning into your child’s needs because when they feel safe in their rhythm, everything becomes easier. Sleep improves. Behaviour softens. And parenting feels lighter.


    You don’t need to do it perfectly. You just need to start paying attention to the natural flow of your baby’s day—and yours too.
