5 tips for more peaceful sleep
This week we’re talking all things sleep, because let’s be honest, it’s not always easy. Whether you’re preparing for your baby’s arrival or navigating those early months, a few simple choices can make a world of difference. We’re here to help you build calm, comfort, and confidence into your nighttime routine.
1) A Solid Sleep Foundation Starts with the right mattress
Safe, restful sleep begins from the ground up. A firm, flat, breathable mattress is the cornerstone of your baby’s sleep space.
Brands like AeroSleep are known for their innovative 3D technology, designed to allow continuous airflow around your baby. Their mattresses and mattress protectors create a breathable layer that helps regulate temperature and wick away moisture — supporting a fresher, drier sleep environment.
If you prefer natural materials, there are also beautifully crafted organic mattresses made from breathable components such as natural latex, coconut coir, and organic cotton. The key is always the same:
✔ Firm support
✔ Excellent airflow
✔ A snug fit in the cot or crib
A breathable foundation helps everyone rest a little easier.
2) White Noise: A Gentle Reminder of the Womb
The world outside the womb can feel very quiet to a newborn, and sometimes that silence is unsettling. White noise can recreate the familiar whooshing sounds your baby heard before birth, helping them feel secure and soothed.
Beautiful sleep aids from Flow Amsterdam combine calming sounds with soft, nursery-friendly designs. Gentle white noise, heartbeat sounds, or lullabies can ease your baby into sleep and help smooth the transition between sleep cycles.
Our tip! Sleep with the cuddle toy before the birth so your baby can enjoy both the sounds and smells that it's used to.
It’s a simple addition that can make bedtime feel calmer for everyone.
3) When Movement Is All Your Baby Wants
Some babies just love motion — and if yours only naps while being pushed, rocked, or carried, you’re not alone.
The clever stroller rocker from Sleepytroll can gently mimic the natural movement babies adore, giving you a helping hand during nap time.
And when closeness is what they truly crave, baby carriers are a wonderful solution. Wearing your baby provides warmth, rhythm, and reassurance, often leading to beautifully peaceful naps (for them at least!).
Movement can be magic, sometimes it’s simply about working with your baby’s instincts.
4) Cuddles & Comfort
Newborns are used to snug spaces, so creating that cozy feeling safely can be incredibly comforting.
A soft baby nest can offer a cocoon-like space for supervised daytime naps only, while a well-fitted swaddle sleeping bag can help reduce the startle reflex and encourage longer stretches of rest.
The key is balance — comfort combined with safe sleep practices.
5) Finally! finding the perfect furniture for you and your baby
This is often first on many parents’ lists, and while creating your baby’s first nursery is such a lovely and special process, the actual requirements for early sleep (especially with a newborn) are beautifully simple.
In those first few months, it’s less about aesthetics and more about flexibility, safety, and closeness.
As you’re navigating and discovering your newborn’s needs, a safe and adaptable sleep setup can be a true lifesaver. Many families begin with a Moses basket, lightweight, cosy, and easy to move around the home for supervised daytime naps. It keeps your baby nearby wherever you are.
For nighttime sleep, co-sleepers are a great option They allow you to keep your baby close and visible in those early weeks, making feeds and reassurance easier, while still providing a separate, safe sleep surface.
If you choose a 3-in-1 SnuzPod, it can adapt as your baby’s sleep routine develops, starting as a bedside co-sleeper and later converting into a standalone crib, offering flexible support as your little one grows.
A full-size cot is another wonderful option from day one. Many can be placed beside your bed in the early months and later moved into the nursery when the time feels right. With adjustable mattress heights, they grow with your baby and offer a longer-term solution without needing to change furniture too quickly.
Some families love the closeness of a bedside co-sleeper in those early months, while others prefer a standalone cot from day one. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, just the one that helps your family feel rested and supported
Because Sleep Is a Journey
Sleep with a baby isn’t always predictable, and that’s okay. Small adjustments can create a calmer environment and help everyone settle a little more peacefully.
Here’s to deeper breaths, longer stretches, and sweeter dreams for you and your little one 🌙✨
