Helpline: Toddler day naps, early toilet training, early risers and more

When life gets challenging with your small humans, it can help to have an expert give you some guidance. Mothercraft nurse Chris Minogue joins us on Helpline to help parents with the following problems:

• When and how to introduce cow’s milk to a one-year-old
• A six-month-old who doesn’t self-settle at night (but can during the day)
• Coping with a four-year-old who chatters constantly
• How to get a five-year-old to drink more water
• What time to get a two-and-a-half-year-old to have their daytime nap
• A two-year-old who will only sleep at night after breastfeeding
• Whether a two-year-old is ready to toilet train
• How to help a two-and-a-half-year-old drop their daytime nap
• Weaning an eleven-month-old off breastfeeds and on to cow’s milk
• A four-year-old who wakes every morning at 5.30am
• Managing a stubborn two-year-old’s behaviour without squashing their independence
• A three-year-old who can’t share toys or humans
