Sleep, feeding,
and the first five years.
I'm Lisa Adair — IBCLC, paediatric sleep consultant, and a NICU nurse for 20 years. One practice for the whole journey, because the parts of parenting that hurt at 3 a.m. are rarely just one thing.

Hi. I'm Lisa.
IBCLC, paediatric sleep consultant, and a NICU nurse of two decades. I treat sleep and feeding as one conversation, because they drive each other. No cry-it-out. No scarcity tactics. Real answers in real sentences.

“In a field where there are too many opinions and not enough facts, she navigated our situation, with knowledge and what would be possible and practical for us.”
“I really thought I'd have the feeding thing sorted, but weeks in I was still in real pain despite my daughter having had her tongue tie cut. A friend recommended Lisa and honestly I wish I'd found her sooner.”
“She's extremely patient and worked with me through their different phases and was always very supportive and reassuring.”

Let me tell you something that comes up, without fail, in almost every conversation I have with Dubai mums.
The danger in your DMs: Who exactly is putting your baby to sleep?
Unlicensed baby sleep consultants in the UK are giving advice that directly contradicts NHS safe sleep guidance — including placing newborns to sleep on their front, a known SIDS risk. Following the BBC sleep investigation, I am asking the question; "why are exhausted parents turning to unregulated sleep coaches, and should the UK finally license them?"
Are we doing the right thing? A Dubai Mum's honest thoughts
The question of whether you give up yourself — your ambitions, your work, your drive, the bits of you that existed before you became a mother and that don't disappear just because you had a child — that question has been in women's minds forever, and I don't think it gets answered by a move to a new country or a global conflict. It just surfaces and smacks us in the face continuously, demanding to be answered.
