From Sleep Deprived to Sleep Consultant feat. Mounia | Entry Level Mums

We sit down with Mounia, a Child Sleep Consultant to talk all things sleep deprivation. Before having children, she worked long NHS night shifts supporting children with complex needs. She thought she understood exhaustion until her first baby woke up every single hour for over a year. When health visitors and GPs couldn’t give her the support she needed, she decided to take matters into her own hands and became a sleep consultant, helping exhausted mums and babies sleep. If you’re running on empty, this episode will make you feel seen.

P2. The Husband Who Vanished Twice Whilst Postpartum | Entry Level Mums

In Part 2 of this Mum Chat, we get into two listener dilemmas and they’re heavy. The first is from a new mum who feels hurt and confused after her sister-in-law stopped visiting her and the baby, despite them being very close before she gave birth. The second dilemma is from a postpartum mum of three who was ghosted by her husband TWICE. We talk family dynamics, expectations after birth, forgiveness, and knowing when enough is enough.
