Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Next of Kin: The Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Rafif Tayara, paediatric dentist, mum of three and founder of The Pediatric Academy.

We chat about her whole-child approach to paediatric dentistry and why oral health is about so much more than just teeth. We get into breathing, sleep, feeding, dummies, jaw development, first dental visits and some of the things we can look out for as parents.

I also put some of your Kin Club questions to Dr Tayara, including thumb sucking, overnight feeding and when to start brushing your baby’s teeth.

Today’s episode is kindly sponsored by The Pediatric Academy, an evidence-based educational platform bringing together trusted guidance and resources from healthcare professionals across different paediatric specialties.

There are also some brilliant guides and free resources available for parents.

Ep 52: “ You’re Not Doing It Wrong”: Newborn Sleep, Breastfeeding & Motherhood with Lisa

Saison 5 · Épisode 52

mercredi 2 septembre 2026 • Durée 40:21

Send us Fan Mail

This week on Next of Kin: The Podcast, I’m joined by Lisa Adair, founder of Lullabies, and honestly, this is an episode I needed as a new mum myself!

Lisa has over 20 years of experience as a NICU nurse and is now an IBCLC lactation consultant and paediatric sleep consultant here in the UAE. She supports families through everything from breastfeeding and sleep to baby massage, antenatal education and starting solids.

We get really honest about those exhausting early months of motherhood and the pressure that comes with feeling like you’re constantly doing something “wrong”.

We chat about newborn sleep, co-sleeping, breastfeeding, milk supply, comfort sucking and the endless opinions new mums can receive about how they feed and settle their babies.

Lisa also explains the difference between a baby being “overtired” and being dysregulated, why sometimes the best thing you can do is simply pick your baby up and help them feel calm, and why there really isn’t one perfect way to parent.

We also answer questions from the Kin Club, including what to do when your baby is fighting sleep, how to know whether your baby is actually feeding or comfort sucking, and the pressure mums can feel when choosing formula or breastfeeding.

And of course, we finish with the piece of parenting advice Lisa would happily see disappear forever...

“Don’t pick your baby up, you’ll spoil them.”

Spoiler: Lisa strongly disagrees!

In this episode, we talk about:

• What newborn sleep really looks like
• Co-sleeping and safe sleep
• Breastfeeding and milk supply
• Comfort sucking vs feeding
• The pressure around “breast is best”
• Formula feeding without guilt
• What to do when your baby is fighting sleep• Overtiredness vs dysregulation• How nursery can help with picky eating• Why there is no one “right” way to parent• Dealing with unsolicited parenting advice• When it might be time to seek professional support

We’re talking:
• Pregnancy & motherhood
• Life as an expat in Dubai
• The highs and lows of those first few weeks
• Taking over Next of Kin
• What’s coming up on the podcast

Saison 3 · Épisode 47

mercredi 9 juillet 2025 • Durée 56:04

Send us Fan Mail

Today I am joined by Louise Hurley from @parentprospercoaching - a certified parenting coach, former teacher, and mum of two, based in Dubai. Louise specialises in helping parents in the UAE build calmer, more connected relationships with their toddlers.

In this episode, we’re diving into the realities of toddlerhood, especially for expat families raising young children in Dubai and across the UAE. Louise shares her journey from confident educator to overwhelmed mum, and how she turned things around using parenting strategies rooted in child development research.

We discuss:

Why toddlerhood is such an emotionally intense phase (for both parents and children!)
Saying 'no' when you really want to avoid a meltdown
Why your child’s behaviour is linked to how they feel, not just what they “know”
How to build confidence in shy children
How to support the more sensitive and strong-willed toddlers
Tantrums, meltdowns, big emotions... whatever you want to call it, it's intense for parents and kids, how should we navigate these?

If you're looking for toddler parenting support in Dubai or the wider UAE, this episode is a must-listen.
