Last night, I cried while holding my baby. But this time, I wasn’t crying because I was exhausted. I wasn’t crying because I hadn’t slept. I wasn’t crying because I felt overwhelmed or frustrated. I was crying because, for a moment, I realized something that completely humbled me. I could make her feel better just by being there. She wasn’t feeling well. She was uncomfortable, crying and clearly having a difficult night. So I picked her up. I held her against my chest, put my

If you’re a parent living in Malta, you’ve probably heard about Free Childcare. But who actually qualifies? Does it apply if you’re a foreigner? What if you’re self-employed?

I’m at the point where I’m getting ready to go back to work, and my little girl is going to nursery. And I have to admit, I have very mixed feelings about it. Need a little time for yourself… without actually leavin

Flying with your baby for the first time can feel a little overwhelming. There are suddenly so many questions: What documents do I need? What can I take on the plane? Should I take the stroller? What about milk? When should I board? What if my baby cries? Is a bassinet worth paying for? After traveling with a baby, including long journeys with multiple flights and airports, I learned that the best thing you can do is simply break the journey down into steps. So, if you’re pre

When you're expecting a baby, everyone talks about nappies, prams and sleepless nights... but no one really tells you about all the paperwork and financial support that's available. I'll be honest I had no idea where to start. Between looking after a newborn and trying to recover, the last thing I wanted was to spend hours searching government websites. So, I thought I'd put everything I learned in one place. Hopefully, this saves you some time and gives you one less thing to

If you're reading this with a baby in one arm and a cold cup of coffee in the other, I want you to know something first: You're not alone. One of the questions I hear the most from mums is, "Why is my baby crying so much?" And honestly? I asked myself the exact same question almost every day during those first months. When my daughter was born, there were days when I felt I had tried everything. She had been fed, her nappy was clean, she wasn't too hot or too cold... yet she
