Will Solids help my baby sleep longer?

Starting solids and wondering if it will finally help your baby sleep longer?

If you've found yourself Googling:

"Will solids help my baby sleep through?"
"Am I starting too early?"
"How much should they actually be eating?"
"Do I need to drop a milk feed?"

I've been there too πŸ˜…

Starting solids can feel exciting, but also surprisingly overwhelming. Suddenly you're hearing about allergens, iron-rich foods, routines, milk feeds, and conflicting advice about sleep.

As a paediatric nurse, sleep consultant, and mum of two, even I underestimated how important this stage could be. I used to believe "food before one is just for fun" until I learned firsthand how much nutrition, feeding, and sleep can overlap.

I've made this free guide to help parents better understand how solids and sleep work together - not just from a sleep perspective, and not just from a health perspective... but both.

Inside the guide, I cover:

βœ” When and how to start solids
βœ” Iron-rich foods and why they matter
βœ” Common allergens and tracking ideas
βœ” How nutrition may influence overnight sleep
βœ” Things that can accidentally disrupt sleep
βœ” Sleep & feed tracking tools
βœ” When personalised support may help

This isn't a rigid feeding schedule. Not even a sleep schedule. Just evidence-based, realistic support that I wish I had when I was starting solids with my littlies.

Best for:

β€’ Babies around 4–12 months
β€’ Families preparing to start solids
β€’ Babies waking frequently overnight
β€’ Parents confused by conflicting feeding advice
β€’ Families wanting to support sleep alongside nutrition

Hi, I'm Dani,

I’m a paediatric nurse, Mum of two, and certified infant & child sleep consultant with 10+ years of paediatric nursing experience.

After navigating significant sleep struggles with my own children, I understand just how exhausting and overwhelming sleep deprivation can feel... especially when you’re constantly bombarded with conflicting advice online.

My approach is realistic, evidence-based, and completely non-judgemental, because sleep support should never feel one-size-fits-all.

Every baby is different. Every family is different. And parents deserve support that actually considers real life.

Whether it’s through my free guides or personalised sleep support, I hope I can be a positive part of your parenting journey.
