Parent Stories

To celebrate families, we're sharing parent stories—real mums and dads sharing their journeys, challenges, and struggles to remind all parents they’re not alone. It's OK to ask for help, and Karitane is here to support you.

Sleep and Settling

Meet Yael and Menachem

It was really hard. People kept telling me sleep when the baby sleeps, but when does that happen? I remember feeling just so lost and desperate. I feel like a new person and it genuinely changed my life.

Sleep and Settling

Meet Suzi and Elias

I was feeling feeling like failure, I was feeling really alone but then I reached out to Karitane. The Karitane Nurse was very gentle and supportive and made me feel empowered.

Feeding

Meet Zoe Marshall

I remember being incredibly desperate and frustrated. In these moments, you need people that are skilled - you need professional help. You need Karitane.

Adjusting to Parenting

Meet Laura

Laura found tailored support through Karitane that helped her balance life with three young children and work.

Sleep and Settling

Meet Celest

We absolutely loved our stay at Karitane. It’s helped our sleeping at home progress so much. Inala went from waking 5–6 times per night, to now only waking up twice, exactly what we went there for.
