In this episode of the MyBump2Baby Expert Podcast, Carla is joined by sleep consultant and Growth Nest member Flic Tyrer, founder of Creating Dreams Sleep Solutions.
Flic shares her powerful personal story — from experiencing severe hyperemesis during pregnancy and struggling with prenatal anxiety and depression, to navigating the exhaustion of a baby waking every 45 minutes. These experiences shaped her passion for helping families improve their sleep and protect their mental health.
Together, Carla and Flic talk openly about the reality of sleep deprivation, the pressure parents feel to “just ride it out,” and why seeking support can make such a difference for the whole family.
They discuss:
• The link between sleep deprivation and parental mental health
• Why sleep support is not about “cry it out”
• How small changes to routines and environments can improve sleep
• The impact sleep deprivation can have on relationships and wellbeing
• Why every family’s approach to sleep will look different
Flic also explains how her personalised three-week sleep support programme works, helping parents feel confident and supported while finding solutions that suit their own parenting style.
This episode is an honest and compassionate conversation about the challenges many parents face — and a reminder that no one has to struggle alone.
