Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Home safety with a new baby
Q: What can we do if or when an injury occurs?
First aid is about rapid, appropriate actions: if burns occur, use cool running water for 20 minutes, remove heat-retaining items, cover the burn, and seek medical help for larger burns; for button batteries, go to ED immediately; for drowning, start basic life support and call emergency services early.
Sleep in the first year
Q: When can I expect my baby to sleep through the night?
All babies are different; night waking can continue through around 12 months, with longer overnight stretches as the child develops, though some wake-ups may persist.
Sleep in the first year
Q: At what age can you really start to establish a routine with sleep?
Most families can start to establish a routine around six months when the baby is developmentally ready to understand and follow a routine, though starting too early can be stressful for both baby and parents.
Crying, colic and comforting
Q: Emily asks when to stop accepting 'it's normal' and seek further answers.
Trust parental intuition when something feels off; seek help from a maternal and child health nurse or GP, and don't hesitate to reach out if ongoing stress or coping difficulties arise.
Crying, colic and comforting
Q: Alex asks about evidence-based strategies for dealing with prolonged crying.
There isn't a magic fix; many products marketed to reduce crying are ineffective or potentially harmful. Focus on understanding the baby's needs and responding with familiar, soothing techniques, and consult a clinician if concerns persist.
