During a newborn session, I always use white noise to keep the baby calm and every time parents ask me questions.

What is it? Why do you use it? Is it an app?

Your baby will be soothed and comforted by sounds that remind her of the rhythmic noises she heard in your womb. For 9 months your baby was in a very warm environment and she was hearing that noise that we call white noise. When you go to the hospital for your check and the midwives do the ultrasound, this is the type of noise you hear, right?

Well give it a chance! Try to use a white noise app to soothe your newborn, who know? It might works magic!

Many babies also enjoy the sound of a washing machine, hairdryer, vacuum cleaner or just some simple white noise. There are plenty of apps that make these kinds of sounds or just search for a free white noise video online.

Newborn soother, white noise can work.

When my daughter was a newborn, 6 years ago, there were no such apps, or at least we weren’t aware. We found that she enjoyed the street noise, cars passing by, rain . . .  So one night my husband went out and recorded those noise. Shame that a siren suddenly ruined everything 🙂 But recording was cut and was played  several times with loudspeakers! So find your baby’s favourite and give it go.

The sound of your heartbeat when you hold her close during skin-to-skin may also help to calm her and regulate her breathing.

I have a couple of app on my phone:

White Noise

newborn-soother-white-noise

Sound Sleepers

newborn-soother-white-noise

Do you already use a similar app? Do you think it works? Let me know in the comment.

Or if you prefer to have an actual white noise machine I would recommend these 2 you can buy from Amazon.

What’s the main message of Milk Tales?

This was my answer on my very first podcast back in July, before the book even launched. And now, after being featured in Grazia, this message feels more important than ever.

Every story shared helps another mother feel less alone.

Every conversation breaks the silence a little more.

If you’re struggling with breastfeeding, please know: you deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. Your story matters.

Milk Tales available on Amazon

Here’s the truth: I guide you into these moments.

I ask Dad to hold baby on his chest.
I invite Mum to step close.
I create the setup.

But the feeling that happens inside that moment?
I can’t create that. That’s all you.

My role is to guide you gently into a space where real emotion can surface. Where you’re not performing. Just feeling.
And that’s what makes these images matter.

Years from now, you won’t remember the direction. You’ll remember how it felt to hold your baby this small. To be this close. To feel this much.

That’s what I capture. Your presence.

If you’d like to keep these early days forever, I would love to create something like this for your family.
