Helpline: Sleepless babies, dropping day naps, babies who don’t crawl and more

Babies and small children don’t come with a handbook, but Helpline is the next best thing. Each week we have a Babyology expert join us to help you find a way through sleepless nights and unruly behaviour.

This week Mothercraft nurse and author of Bringing Baby Home, Chris Minogue joins us to advise on the following challenges:

• A six-month-old waking constantly through the night
• A nineteen-month-old who is not a fan of sleep
• A ten-month-old waking through the night
• Eighteen-month-old twins who like pulling hair
• Whether it’s time to let a two-and-a-half year old drop their day nap
• A thirty-two-month-old who is refusing day naps
• A nine-month-old who is not crawling
• Whether it’s time for a four-year-old to give up his day nap

Listen to Chris Minogue on Feed Play Love:
