Helpline: Night waking, defiant toddlers and more

Every parent has their own approach to raising children, but when you are so tired your eyeballs feel like sandpaper, and your patience has completely run out, it’s time to speak to an expert. That’s where Helpline steps in to get you some extra hours sleep.

Every week an expert from Babyology’s Parent School joins host Shevonne Hunt to answer your questions.

This week, Mothercraft nurse Chris Minogue answers the following questions::

• A ten-and-a-half month old who wakes through the night
• Whether to toilet train a two-year-old who is not speaking
• A 17-month-old who won’t sleep through the night
• A 22-month-old not listening to instructions
• How many bottles should a 13-month-old have?
• Whether to toilet train a 22-month-old who appears ready to start
• How to extend day naps for a seven-month-old
• When an eight-month-old is waking super early
• A three-and-a-half year old who has given up her dummy but won’t settle to sleep
• A seven-month-old who wakes early
• A two-month-old who won’t sleep in her bassinet
