Many new parents have to navigate the influx of unwanted advice offered by extended family members. This can be amplified when extended family lives with you or comes to stay for an extended period.

Like our anonymous listener, whose mother and sister in law constantly entered the bedroom when she was settling the baby, to tell her how she could be doing things differently. Setting clear boundaries with extended family, early on, can help set expectations and minimise hurt feelings. You are the parent and you set the rules.

Tune in to hear Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) discuss practical strategies for setting clear and reasonable boundaries with your extended family.

Parent questions are answered including:

• How do I identify my baby’s unique sleep needs?


• Should I reintroduce a nap that I recently dropped?


• Does it matter if my baby changes between 4 and 3 naps per day if the total amount of sleep is still the same? 


• How can I make nap settling easier?


• What do I do if my baby struggles to resettle during the night?
