I often get mums messaging me via my online chat in the middle of the night from overseas. This desperate message came from a mum in the UK and she'd sent it at 4 pm Sydney Australia time which was 3 am UK time.
I get it. It's lonely in those early hours of the morning. You think no one else is up except you and your baby and toddler who won't go the f**k to sleep. You've had it. You've had no sleep at all. And you can't see yourself getting any sleep from then till 7 am. You think I might as well just give up, it's just not going to happen.
"Hi, I have a toddler who refuses to sleep the whole night. It has come to the point that I’m lucky if he falls asleep at 7 am! As sometimes it can be 11 am and he STILL hasn’t slept. He has just turned 2 and I also have a newborn so the lack of sleep is killing me. Please help if you can I’m desperate."
I replied back and said please contact me I can help you. Really I can.
One day passed and still no reply.
Maybe she went to every website and posted the same thing? Maybe she got an instant reply from a chatbot? Who knows.
Then this message came through from Karina in Jakarta, Indonesia.
"Hi, Karen. just wanna appreciate everything you put on your blog. now I know why my 9-month-old is catnapping, eats very little of solids, wakes at least 5 times during the night to FEED. You just opened my eyes! thank you so much! Can we just do an email consultation?"

When I first started Nurture Parenting 8 years ago next month I had no idea when I started blogging if anyone was actually listening to me and reading my blog. I started this blog as a way to help my sister with her first baby. And I just hoped I helped others along the way. Nowadays I have parents from over 90 countries read my blogs every single week!! It blows my mind and makes me so happy.
So, just know if you send me a message in the middle of the night I do read them and I do reply. If I'm on an overnight helping a family you may not get a reply until the following day but I will always reply. At the end of the message is Karen and not an automated chatbot. And I do care about you and your baby or toddler who isn't sleeping tonight.
