Why I created This Little Piggy

High-Contrast Bedtime Videos to Help Babies Sleep and Parents Breathe

When I became a mum for the first time, I expected sleepless nights — but I wasn’t prepared for how emotionally overwhelming bedtime could be. My baby struggled to settle. I felt helpless, drained, and desperate for calm.

I searched for peaceful baby sleep videos — something gentle, high-contrast, and low-stimulation. But most of what I found were bright, fast-paced animations full of noise and flashing colours. It didn’t feel restful. It didn’t feel like us.

So I opened my sketchbook — and started drawing something softer.

A Quiet Beginning

This Little Piggy began as a simple baby bedtime video I made just for my son: soft music, slow movement, high-contrast shapes on a black background.

Then I made one for my daughter, too. These weren’t just sensory videos — they became part of our wind-down ritual. A visual lullaby to help them settle before sleep.

When I began sharing them, I started hearing from other families:

“It’s part of our bedtime routine now.”

“We watch it every night. It calms us too.”

That’s when I realised I wasn’t the only one looking for calm.

A Safe Place for Little Minds

Today, This Little Piggy is watched by millions — but our focus hasn’t changed. We create bedtime videos for babies and toddlers that are gentle, slow, and soothing.

Each animation is designed to reduce stimulation while supporting sleep, visual development, and emotional regulation. The high-contrast visuals, black backgrounds, and simple pacing help children wind down naturally. And the quiet music is always soft — never jarring.

I still create each story during quiet moments, between homeschooling and various runs — always with the hope that somewhere, a baby is drifting off… and a parent is finally getting a moment to exhale.

From One Tired Parent to Another

These baby bedtime videos aren’t just for little ones — they’re for you, too.

Our calming sensory animations are designed to soothe overstimulated minds and help build healthy sleep habits. No bright flashes. No loud surprises. Just slow, safe, sensory storytelling that brings peace to babies — and quiet relief to parents.

For many families, This Little Piggy becomes the softest part of the bedtime routine — a moment of connection and calm that’s easy to return to every night.

From Our Family to Yours

If you’re here, maybe your nights have felt long too. Maybe your baby has trouble settling. I see you. I’ve been there — searching for something that might help.

This Little Piggy was created by a mum, for other parents who just need a little calm at the end of the day. My hope is that our high-contrast bedtime animations give your family a gentle rhythm, a peaceful wind-down, and a moment of stillness you can count on.

Thank you for letting our videos be part of your bedtime story.

With love and calm,
