Long haul travel and jet lag: sleep tips for children
Travelling long haul with children can feel very daunting and it is easy to get pulled into thinking ‘it would be easier not to bother’. Whether it’s your first big trip as a family or you’re seasoned travellers, the combination of long flights, different time zones and managing everyone’s sleep needs can feel overwhelming. Here are my top tips!
Camping with babies and toddlers
Camping can be such a fun family experience, but it can also feel a little daunting when you’re thinking about sleep. As a parent, and from working with so many families, I know that the thought of sharing a tent with your baby or toddler might feel overwhelming, here are my top tips.
Travelling with a newborn
Travelling with a newborn is such an individual decision. For some families, travelling in the early weeks feels right and manageable, while for others, staying close to home and settling into life with their new baby is their preference. In this blog post, I discuss my top tips for travelling with a newborn!
Long car journeys: sleep and entertainment for children
Planning a long car journey with little ones can feel like a military operation. As a parent of three (two boys and then my daughter), I know first-hand how quickly a peaceful road trip can descend into “are we nearly there yet?” But with a bit of preparation and some simple strategies, long drives can be much smoother and even enjoyable.
Children’s sleep and travel: a complete guide for parents
As a parent (and as a sleep consultant), I know that travel can feel exciting, but also a little daunting when you’re wondering:how on earth will my little one sleep? Whether you’re off for a family holiday, visiting grandparents, or taking a long-haul adventure, a change in routine doesn’t have to mean a complete disruption to sleep.

Saying Goodbye to the Dummy – When and How to Wean It Away
Whether or not to use a dummy with your baby is such a personal decision, and there’s no right or wrong answer. I always say to families—go with what feels right for you. Some babies take great comfort in sucking and settle beautifully with a dummy, while others just aren’t interested (and that’s completely OK!)
Managing Micro-Naps After Baby & Toddler Classes
As we head into the summer term, many families will be returning to baby and toddler classes — music sessions being a favourite of mine. They’re fun, lively, and full of developmental benefits, such as supporting language, listening skills, and social interaction. But sometimes, all that excitement can have an unexpected knock-on effect when it comes to sleep.
Parenting – you do you!
In this ever-growing world of social media and outside influences, it can feel increasingly muddled for parents asking themselves, “What do I do?” or “I just want to get it right.”
This blog is about navigating that noise and finding your own way through the parenting journey.
