Helpline: Sleep regressions, toilet training troubles and more

When you’ve started boasting about getting two hours sleep in a row, it’s time to reach out for some expert help. That’s where Helpline comes in. Our experts have decades of experience helping babies (and therefore their parents) sleep better. They can also give guidance on feeding and behaviour challenges.

Today Mothercraft nurse and Parent School expert Chris Minogue helps with the following questions:

• A ten-month-old who’s hard to settle when teething
• A two-and-a-half-year-old who rips up nappies but won’t use the toilet
• A two-and-a-half-year-old who only does his day sleeps in the car
• A four-month-old who has started rolling but sleeps better in a swaddle
• A two-and-a-half-year-old who is happy to be toilet trained but keeps wetting his undies
• A three-year-old who has started being a fussy eater
• A two-year-old whose sleep regressed after a ten day holiday
• A four-and-a-half-year-old who is waking very early each morning
• An eighteen-month-old who is taking a while to fall asleep
• A nine-month-old who is waking every few hours overnight
• Two and three-year-old siblings who constantly fight
