Lullabies Sleep Coaching

Helping you and your baby to form healthy sleep habits. My name is Lisa. Sleep consultant, mother and paediatric/neonatal nurse of 20 years experience.

I believe that healthy sleep habits set the foundation for baby’s physical and mental development. I can’t promise you that your child is going to sleep tonight, but I can help you understand why your child isn’t sleeping and what we can do to help them, through education, support and guidance.

You’re 34 weeks pregnant and googling “what does labour actually feel like” at 2am… Every answer is either terrifying or useless. So here’s our truth.

Swipe for the honest answers to the questions you’re too embarrassed to ask.

I’m a lactation consultant & paediatric nurse with 20 years experience working with families. My co-founder at Birth & Beyond Antenatal Classes Nikki ( ) has over a decade as a registered midwife. Between us, we’ve supported thousands of Dubai families and tens of thousands through labour and those chaotic first weeks.

We don’t do sanitised. We do honest, evidence-based, and Dubai-specific. Because understanding what’s happening in your body (and outside of it) makes it less scary.

Full blog post (link in bio) covers:
When to actually call the hospital in Dubai
What interventions feel like (epidural, assisted, C-section)
Postpartum realities no one warns you about
Why breastfeeding in the first 48 hours matters
How to protect yourself from birth trauma

This is only part of what we cover in Birth & Beyond - our 4-week antenatal course for Dubai parents. Next course starts 4th March 2026.

Dubai slows down during Ramadan.

And honestly? For mums with young babies, that’s actually a gift.

Because when the city quiets down - when there are fewer events, fewer obligations, fewer places you “should” be - there’s space for something more important.

Just you and your baby. Actually connecting.
Baby massage is one of the most powerful things you can do with a young baby. And Ramadan is the perfect time to learn it.

Here’s why:
Our sessions are gentle, intimate, and calm - exactly the right energy for this time of year. You’ll learn how to communicate with your baby through touch in a way that reduces colic, improves sleep, and strengthens the bond between you.

No rushing. No loud environments. No overwhelming sensory overload.

Just you, your baby, warm oil, quiet chats, and the kind of knowledge that stays with you long after the course ends.

And the mums you meet in that room? They become your Dubai people. The ones who are available for morning coffee. The ones who understand what it’s like to be raising babies in this city, far from home, during a season where the whole world feels slightly different.

This is what baby massage class in Dubai actually is.

Save this for later, or send it to a Dubai mum who needs something gentle and beautiful to do with her baby this Ramadan

Fridababy is facing some serious controversy and backlash right now.

Interestingly, Frida have issued a statement, standing by their marketing strategy.

Mums love their products (I’ve never massively been a fan, as, if I’m honest, had zero need and fully survived without them both as a mum and a nicu nurse) and I’ve known a few mums who’ve used their wind relieving thing. Again, not a huge fan as I’ve never advocated for re**al anything, unless it’s a medication suppository in an older child. There’s risks attached, and there’s a reason we don’t do re**al temperatures as standard on infants.

Anyway….curious to know everyone’s takes…do you think it’s just been blown out of proportion? Are you a lover of Frida baby products? Would this make you boycott? Is their marketing just a bit tone deaf? Or is it funny and raises a smile in weary new parent moments? Genuinely interested!

Important infant feeding update for parents worldwide

Recent baby formula recalls in multiple countries (including Nestle, Danone & Nutricia recalls in the UAE) have been linked to reports of babies developing symptoms consistent with toxin exposure after consuming specific affected batches.

The issue relates to a contaminated ingredient from a third-party supplier (ARA), not parental preparation or feeding choices. Only certain batches are affected — not entire brands.

If your baby has consumed any recalled formula: • stop using the affected batch immediately • switch to a safe alternative • seek medical advice if your baby has symptoms such as vomiting, nausea or abdominal discomfort

If your baby is on prescribed or specialist formula, speak to a paediatrician or pharmacist before changing.

This matters for families outside the country of purchase too. Many parents in the UAE and globally use imported formula from the UK, Europe and beyond — so checking batch numbers is essential. The latest batch affected is SMA First Infant Milk 800g, best before: December 2027, marked 53390346AB.

The full lists can be seen on the relevant brands websites, as well as on your specific country’s food safety agency websites. In the UK this is the Food Standards Agency, in the UAE this is The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment or the Emirates Drug Establishment.

Save this. Share it with other parents. And please remember — this is not your fault.

We can finally share it…

Baby signing is officially coming to a Dubai Venue near you — and we’re so excited to welcome Amelia as Dubai’s brand new baby signing instructor!

These classes have been carefully planned for families who want a gentle, evidence-informed way to support early communication, long before speech develops.

Amelia brings together her background as a qualified primary school teacher, tutor, business owner — and mum — alongside her baby sign instructor training. She truly understands how babies learn, and how parents need information delivered in a calm, supportive way.

Classes will be held at: • Red Door, Victory Heights • Adams Club, Emaar South

Suitable from around 6 months+ Starting mid-February Waitlist families will receive booking access first (check your emails & spam, just in case!)

If you’re a Dubai mum looking for baby classes that are purposeful, developmentally supportive, and genuinely enjoyable — this one’s for you.

Whooping cough isn’t just an annoying cough. For newborns, it can be life-threatening.

The reason the Tdap vaccine in pregnancy matters so much is timing. Babies don’t start their own routine vaccinations until around 8 weeks — and that early newborn window is when they’re most vulnerable.
Having Tdap during pregnancy allows your body to make antibodies that cross the placenta and offer your baby protection from birth.

In short: • It doesn’t replace baby’s vaccines • It bridges the gap until they’re old enough to receive them • And it’s about protection before routines, sleep, feeding — before you’ve even met them.

Guidance varies slightly depending on where you live (UK, UAE, GCC), but the goal is always the same: maximise antibody transfer before birth.

If you’re pregnant and weighing this up, a helpful question to ask your provider is: “When do you recommend Tdap here, and how do I book it?”
No pressure. No judgement. Just clear, evidence-based information — so families can make informed decisions for their baby.

Choosing a nursery or school is rarely about the glossy brochure or the carefully worded website.

Once you’ve shortlisted a few options, the most useful thing you can do is start asking questions that show you how the nursery actually functions day to day — especially when things don’t go to plan.
Questions about routines, settling-in, communication, food, outdoor time, staff ratios, behaviour support and leadership give you far more insight than any checklist. They help you understand whether a setting will suit your child’s temperament, your family’s values, and the kind of support you want around you.

In Dubai, where families are often navigating big decisions around nursery vs school, when to start childcare, and what “readiness” really means, context matters more than timelines. Earlier isn’t always better. Busier isn’t always enriching. And calm, responsive environments are not lacking.

These conversations also tell you how reflective and child-focused a nursery truly is — how they communicate with families, how they support children when things feel hard, and how much thought sits behind everyday practice.

If you’re currently researching Dubai nurseries, starting nursery, or weighing up childcare options in 2026, save this for later or share it with someone else in the same place. These decisions deserve time, clarity and proper information — not pressure and worry about securing a place.
