Baby Illness Etiquette & Lowering Your Standards as a New Mum
Episode 7
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
Welcome back to The Night Feed. This episode is for the overstimulated, under-slept, slightly feral mums in the trenches of early motherhood.Firstly, here's the link to my 'Buy me a Coffee' page if you would like to donate anything towards the podcast it would be hugely appreciated ❤️ buymeacoffee.com/TheNightFeedTonight, I talk about child illness etiquette at baby groups and the awkward question of when to stay home with a poorly child. How contagious is too contagious? Is it unreasonable to leave? And why one “little cold” can mean ten days of broken sleep for another mum.I dive into the reality of baby sleep struggles and how parents whose babies sleep through the night really are living a different life. When your baby wakes every 45 minutes, exhaustion shapes everything; your mood, your patience, your mental health.There’s also an honest (and hilarious) conversation about how we’ve all lowered our standards since having a baby. From sick on shoulders to floor snacks and rogue nappies at 4am, survival mode is real.We touch on the trending 75 Hard challenge and whether extreme self-discipline fits into early motherhood, plus a gentle reminder that babies don’t keep and perfection can wait.If you’re tired, touched out, and wondering if you’re the only one barely holding it together, you’re not. You’re just deep in it.Keep your emails coming: thenightfeedpodcast@gmail.comSupport the showTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenightfeed
