Sleep advice from somebody who’s been there.

Practical, parent-tested guidance for the first year, from wake windows for your day to day to traveling with babies and everything in between. No jargon. No judgment. Just help.

How long should my baby be awake right now?

Wake windows are one of the most powerful tools for better baby sleep. Too long awake and your baby becomes overtired and harder to settle. Too short and they won't nap well. Get it right and everything else starts to fall into place.

Our Sleep Guides

Honest, practical, and written for the parent who's already Googled everything and needs guidance on what to try next.

Who We Are

The Little Nightlight was created by a parent who spent the first year exactly where you might be right now: tired, overwhelmed, and not entirely sure what they were doing wrong.

After a lot of reading, researching, and quietly figuring out what actually worked, things finally clicked. This site is the resource we wish we'd had — practical, honest, and written in plain English for parents who just need something that works.

No qualifications. No perfect answers. Just real experience, shared openly.

1:1 Support

Sometimes a guide isn't quite enough, you need someone to actually look at your baby's routine and talk it through with you. We offer focused 45-minute consultations for families with babies aged 0–12 months.

You'll leave with a clear, personalised plan built around your baby — not a generic schedule pulled from a book.
