Living in Doha allows us the privilege of traveling anywhere in a breath's notice. As expats we have places to go, family to visit, or even a hop over to the other side for a short getaway. Now with Eid approaching along with school holidays, travel has been one of the biggest worries for my clients who have worked so hard on their little ones' sleep. We travel to South Africa every year. Now while it is only a one hour time difference, I know first hand with my own kids how

Wake windows, nap numbers, night feeds, every expectation changes as your baby grows. Find out what's normal for your baby's age right now.

As we move into 2026, I’m consciously prioritizing my own sleep. This past year has taught me the value of rest. It has given me more energy, presence, and time to spend in places that matter to me as an expat mum raising my children in Doha, far from family support. Sleep hasn’t added more hours to the day.

The latter has become a standard addition to nursery setups, offering parents a sense of reassurance when not physically present with their little ones.

As a professional sleep consultant, I hear the term “regression” used in regards to just about every imaginable circumstance. Essentially, if baby doesn’t sleep well for a couple of nights, parents start dropping the ‘R’ word. Some people subscribe to the idea that there’s an eight month regression, a 9 month regression, a 1 year regression, as well as teething regressions, growth spurt regressions, and so on. Others see these as simple hiccups caused by extenuating circumsta

Many parents receive plenty of well-meaning advice from friends, family, or online resources when it comes to getting their little ones to sleep — and sometimes, those tips do help. But for many families, it’s not that simple. Every child is different, and what works for one baby doesn’t always work for another. Most of the parents I support have already tried several approaches before reaching out, often feeling frustrated, exhausted, and unsure of what else to do. There’s a
