Feeling Lonely As a New Parent

Nestwarm is a quiet, judgment-free chat on WhatsApp — always there, when you need someone to listen.

Why New Parents Feel Lonely — Especially At Night

Becoming a parent changes everything: Your sleep, your identity, your sense of connection. Between night feeds and quiet hours, it’s normal to feel lonelier than before.

When sleep is broken into short stretches, the mind becomes more sensitive to negative thoughts and emotions. That’s why a 3 a.m. feed can feel far lonelier than a sunny afternoon.

New parents are at higher risk of loneliness, especially in the first year after birth.
Sleep loss increases emotional sensitivity, making night-time loneliness feel heavier.

Common Questions

What languages can I use?
Nestwarm is currently available in English and German - but we are expanding the languages weekly. If you’re more comfortable in German, you can switch the site and proceed on WhatsApp from there.
What safeguards are there against harmful content or crises?
Outgoing messages go through multi-layer moderation to block sexual, hateful, violent, or illegal content. If self-harm/crisis language is detected, a minimal snippet is securely escalated to trained counselors for human review and potential hand-off.
Is this therapy or dating?
No—Nestwarm positions itself strictly as an AI companion for social support. There’s a clear opening disclaimer that it’s not medical/therapeutic advice or matchmaking.
Will you message me first or spam me?
No. A chat only starts after you opt in on the site (consent is logged), and you can stop anytime by replying “STOP” in WhatsApp or blocking the number. Business-initiated messages use Meta-approved templates and respect the 24-hour session window.
Is it private and GDPR-compliant?
Messages travel via WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption; at rest, Nestwarm stores data with AES-256 on EU-hosted infrastructure. Messages are processed to deliver the service and routed to OpenAI’s EU API endpoint; you have full GDPR rights (access/erasure). Storage periods include 7 days for server logs and—importantly—chat logs are retained up to 30 days after you delete your account.
How do I start?
Scan the QR on your site (or tap the “Start WhatsApp Chat” button). You’ll get a message on WhatsApp, pick a companion (Anna or Ben), and just start texting. No separate app or login required.
What exactly is Nestwarm?
Nestwarm is an AI companion you chat with on WhatsApp—meant for low-pressure company when you’re bored or feeling lonely. It’s not therapy or life coaching; it’s simply “someone who replies,” 24/7.
