Sleep support masterclass for early postpartum

Description

Sleep when the baby sleeps is a lie: A live sleep support masterclass for early postpartum

If you’ve ever been told to “sleep when the baby sleeps” and felt instantly frustrated, exhausted, or unseen this session is for you.

Early postpartum sleep isn’t broken. It’s biologically fragmented, developmentally normal, and deeply connected to both infant development and maternal nervous system regulation.

Yet many mothers are left feeling like they’re failing when rest feels impossible in a culture that offers simplistic advice for one of the most complex transitions of life.

This live masterclass offers something different: realistic, compassionate, science-informed support for sleep in the early months without rigid routines, pressure, or unrealistic expectations.

Led by our sleep consultant Fi Hayward, this session looks at sleep through the lens of infant biology, attachment, and maternal wellbeing, helping you support your baby’s sleep and your own recovery.

What we’ll explore together

Understanding early postpartum sleep

What normal sleep really looks like in the early weeks and months
Why frequent waking is expected and not a sign you’re doing anything wrong
How infant sleep matures over time, and what babies are actually capable of

Gentle tools to support baby sleep

Responsive, attachment-aware ways to encourage healthy sleep habits
How to work with circadian rhythms, sleep pressure, and environment gently
What supports sleep without sleep training or leaving babies to cry

Reducing exhaustion0- even with broken sleep

How to lower overall depletion when long stretches of sleep aren’t possible
Small, practical shifts that make nights and days feel more manageable

Nervous system regulation for mothers

Why your nervous system matters just as much as your baby’s
Simple ways to support regulation, resilience, and recovery in daily life

This session isn’t about “fixing” your baby or forcing sleep before biology is ready.
It’s about creating the conditions that support sleep — while protecting your mental health and energy.

You’ll leave with:

Gentle, evidence-based tools to support your baby’s sleep as it naturally matures
A clearer understanding of what’s normal and when to seek support
Practical strategies you can use immediately
Less self-blame, more confidence, and deeper trust in yourself

And perhaps most importantly: permission to stop blaming yourself for something that was never meant to be fixed.

Who this session is for

Mothers in the early postpartum months
Anyone feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or confused by sleep advice
Parents who want a gentle, responsive approach to baby sleep
Those who want to understand sleep without rigid routines or pressure

Who this session is not for

Those looking for strict schedules or “sleep training” methods
Cry-it-out or behaviourist approaches
One-size-fits-all solutions or quick fixes

I was gifted access to the Life…

I was gifted access to the Life postpartum care platform, and it has genuinely made a huge difference during my pregnancy and early postpartum experience. As a mum, it’s so easy to forget about your own wellbeing, but Life makes it simple to prioritise yourself. The platform is full of helpful resources — from nutrition advice and easy recipes to gentle exercise routines and mental health support. It’s all presented in a way that feels supportive and realistic, especially when you’re short on time or energy. I’m due to give birth in September and already know I’ll be relying on Life even more during the fourth trimester. Postpartum care is often overlooked, but this platform fills that gap in a thoughtful and accessible way. I highly recommend it to any new or expecting mum looking for support and reassurance.

Great postpartum resource

I’ve found the website a really useful resource for all my postpartum information, including advice regarding mental health, exercise and recipes. It’s simple to use, has extensive content and community feel. Would recommend!

Perfect gift for my partner!

I bought the Life Postpartum package for my partner after our first baby was born, and she loved it. As a male, it often felt like there was very little I could do to really support in the early days after the birth, so it was nice to be able to give her something that she found useful. She has continued to enjoy being part of the community that is being built in the platform, where she can share ideas/worries and hear from other people who have lived through the shared experience of childbirth. If you are the friend/relative/partner of someone who is going give birth, then buy this!
