The month of Ramadan has only just passed, but for many parents, the thinking has already started.
What worked this year, what didn’t, and how to make the next one feel a little more manageable.
Because for all its challenges, Ramadan is still one of the most anticipated times of the year for families.
And when you’re raising children, how the days unfold matters just as much as the moments you’re trying to create.
#MyRefuelMoment by Marigold
Through the #MyRefuelMoment campaign by Marigold, parents shared how they were approaching sahur in a more practical way, with Marigold UHT Milk as an easy “refuel companion” across the day.
Across different households, the approach was consistent – keep things simple, focus on what helps sustain energy, and work within what children are actually willing to take in the early morning.
Erin Arina: Sahur Sets the Tone for the Whole Day
From Erin Arina, a mum known for her honest parenting content, the focus was on how what children consume during sahur can directly affect their energy and behaviour throughout the day.
By including something simple like a glass of Marigold UHT Milk, it becomes easier to add protein and calcium to support longer-lasting energy, especially for children who may not eat much early in the morning.

The Realistic Sahur Routine
While we may have waved goodbye to Ramadan, next year is already in the back of our minds.
So instead of pushing for full meals, it becomes more about topping up what they can manage.
Something quick, no fuss, like a glass of Marigold UHT Milk alongside whatever they’re already eating, makes it easier to round things up, especially when it already provides protein and calcium to support their daily energy and growing needs.
It’s simple, familiar, and doesn’t require much thinking, which is exactly what mornings like these call for.
Sometimes, that’s all parents are really looking for, something that works without adding more to the list.
If you’re already thinking ahead to the next Ramadan, small habits like these are a good place to start.
