About Us

Hi, I’m Charlotte.

When our first baby arrived, I was working as an A&E nurse — used to pressure, long shifts, and making quick decisions under stress. But nothing prepared me for the emotional intensity of new motherhood.

I’d done the reading. I’d followed the guidance. I’d memorised protocols. But when the baby was placed in my arms after an emergency C-section, the rush of joy I thought I’d feel… didn’t come. Instead, I felt hollow. Exhausted. Detached.

Everyone around me focused on the baby — his weight, his feeding, his sleep. But no one really looked at me. Not after the birth. Not in the days that followed. I was stitched up, sent home, and expected to just get on with it.

So I did. I muddled through.

Even with a clinical background and access to all the medical knowledge in the world, I felt lost. I didn’t need more information — I needed something grounding. Something kind. Something steady. Because while I knew how to do parenting, I didn’t know how to feel it. My days were robotic. Feed. Change. Settle. Repeat.

At night, I found myself scrolling through parenting forums full of clashing opinions and aggressive threads, hoping for clarity and ending up more anxious than before. Everyone had advice about the baby, but no one was talking about me. About what it felt like to be quietly unraveling while doing everything “right.”

Looking back now, I realise I was experiencing postnatal stress. And it didn’t stop with our first — it followed me into the early weeks with our second and third children too. Even now, when I revisit that time, there’s a heaviness in my chest. But there’s also something else: a deep, determined desire to help others feel less alone in it.

That’s why my husband and I created Nurture Days.

Not another parenting app. Not another feed to scroll. But something gentle, thoughtful, and centred on you — the parent. Each daily note offers warmth, understanding, and small, manageable actions that help you feel a little more anchored in the swirl of it all.

Because support shouldn’t just be about your baby — it should be about you, too.

We hope Nurture Days helps you feel just a bit more steady in the chaos, a bit more seen in the blur, and a bit more like you again. This journey isn’t just about raising a baby. It’s about looking after the person doing the raising.
