Lullabies Baby Sleep Consultant & IBCLC

Lullabies Baby Sleep Consultant & IBCLC IBCLC, children's nurse & baby sleep specialist with qualifications in child mental health & maternal trauma & PTSD. Responsive, tailored support.

I support exhausted families across the UK, UAE, USA and Europe — entirely online, whatever your timezone. I'm Lisa — IBCLC, paediatric and neonatal nurse with nearly two decades of experience in clinical nursing, education and service commissioning across the UK, USA, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Dubai, and a specialist in child mental health and maternal trauma & PTSD. I support families worldwide at

every stage — from antenatal education and birth preparation, through breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, weaning and starting solids, baby massage, infant sleep, and beyond. I have specialist qualifications in reflux and CMPA, which only adds to the clinical experience I have with newborn babies & families. I also offer nanny training for parents who want their wider support network on the same page. My approach is holistic because babies don't exist in isolation — feeding, sleep, development and maternal wellbeing are all connected. I bring clinical depth, real life experience and nearly twenty years of living & teaching in diverse cultures and healthcare settings to every family I work with. The family is at the centre of everything I do, so that means no off the shelf plans in any of the services I offer and no cry it out. Just support, in whatever way you need it.

Flying long-haul with a baby doesn’t have to be the nightmare everyone warned you about — and tiring them out beforehand is the fastest way to make it one.

Here’s what actually works when you’re travelling with a baby: protect their naps before you fly, feed on take-off and landing to settle ear pressure, and anchor their routine to your destination instead of fighting the time zone in the air. A rested, well-fed baby settles. A dysregulated one fights sleep the whole way.

I’ve built the full travelling-with-a-baby system — feeding, naps, jet lag, the body clock, what’s actually worth packing — into one free guide for expat mums doing the trip home.

Comment TRAVEL and I’ll send it straight to you.

Save this for your next flight, and send it to the friend who’s dreading hers.

How many of us are wincing and clutching our chests right now 🫣

4 month breastfeeding FOMO is real - genuinely, your baby will breastfeed like this at some point. Hands up if they have already or if you remember it well 🤚

Latch shouldn’t hurt. Full stop. If it does, DM for support.

Baby massage class is worth it even if you think you don’t need it. Lucy came with her second baby and still left with something new.

That’s the thing about baby massage, it’s never really just about the massage. Yes, you’ll learn the techniques (and your baby will love you for them), but what happens in that room is so much more than that. The chatting, the other mums, the realising you’re not the only one Googling things at 2am — that part is just as valuable as anything I teach.

And what Lucy mentioned about the group WhatsApp — that’s intentional by the way. The course ending doesn’t mean the support ends. Mums message me after all the time with questions about feeding, sleep, behaviour, things that come up weeks later when you’re in the thick of it. That’s exactly how it’s supposed to work.

If you’re in Dubai with a new baby (or a second one, or a third — it’s never too late!) and you’re looking for something that’s part learning, part breathing space, part finding your people, come join us.

Next dates are in the link in bio. DM me if you have questions.

“Don’t breastfeed after drinking. You might as well be pouring vodka down their throat.”

Nobody is pouring vodka down anyone’s throat. Sigh. Let’s clear this one up once and for all.

The alcohol in your breast milk mirrors your blood alcohol level, not how many drinks you’ve had. Which means the actual question isn’t “did I have a drink” it’s “am I sober.” If you’re sober enough to drive, you’re sober enough to feed. That’s the clinical benchmark and it comes straight from La Leche League GB (slide 3 has the full science if you want the numbers).

And the pump and dump? You can absolutely do it for comfort if you’re engorged and can’t feed, but it’s not removing alcohol from your milk. Pumping doesn’t filter it out, neither does water, coffee, or any other remedy the internet has confidently recommended.

Alcohol leaves your milk the same way it leaves your bloodstream, with time.

Now, to be clear because this bit really matters. Heavy or regular drinking is a completely different conversation, and if you’re drinking and bedsharing/co-sleeping, please don’t, your reflexes aren’t what they normally are and that’s a real safety risk to your baby. Check out the The Lullaby Trust for more on safe sleep.

If you have any concerns at all about alcohol and feeding, please talk to one of us.

But one glass of wine at dinner? A prosecco at your friend’s birthday? (We’ve all been there by the way.) You don’t need to panic, pump, or tip anything down the sink.

I’m Lisa, an IBCLC and paediatric nurse based in Dubai, and every Saturday I’m joining Little Mikey & Raffy and to bust the myths we’re still somehow hearing. Follow all three of us so you don’t miss one.
