Family Travel: Mini Course

Navigate family travel with confidence, not guesswork.

Created by paediatrician Dr Daniel Golshevsky (Dr Golly), the Family Travel Mini Course gives you practical guidance to help protect your child’s sleep and routines while travelling, whether you’re flying interstate, heading overseas, taking a long car trip or holidaying closer to home.

You’ll learn how to:

• Prepare and pack for holidays with babies and young children
• Navigate airports and flying, including sleep on the plane, airline bassinets, feeding and ear discomfort
• Choose between daytime and overnight flights and understand how timing can affect sleep
• Manage new time zones and jet lag while helping your child adjust
• Recreate a familiar, safe sleep environment away from home
• Adapt sleep routines on holidays while staying flexible
• Plan long car journeys around naps and routines
• Manage naps and sleep on the run
• Get your child’s routine back on track when you return home

The course includes easy-to-follow lessons covering preparation, packing, flying, jet lag, sleep environments, holiday routines, car trips and sleeping on the go.

Access the course through the Dr Golly App on mobile or desktop and learn at your own pace with lifetime access.

With practical preparation, realistic expectations and a flexible approach, you can feel more confident travelling with your little one while protecting the healthy sleep foundations you’ve worked hard to build.

Every child and family is different. This is a general guide and individual sleep patterns will vary.
