This week on Sense by Meg Faure, we check in with regular guest Nina Clark as her son, Josh, approaches the 10-month mark. Nina shares an honest account of the challenges of parenting two young children, the realities of a "fiery" toddler, and the constant juggle of motherhood.

This episode is a must-listen guide to navigating this active and exciting stage:

• The 10-Month Sleep Regression: Josh has started waking frequently at night, especially between 11 PM and 3 AM. Meg provides a checklist for troubleshooting, including separation anxiety, day sleep routines, and crucial nutritional factors.
• The #1 Hidden Reason for Night Wakings: We explore the critical role of iron in a baby's diet after six months and why low iron is a common but often-overlooked cause of poor sleep.
• Feeding a Social Butterfly: Nina shares her struggle with breastfeeding a distractible "social butterfly." We discuss the pros and cons of snacky feeds versus a more structured routine for older babies.
• The Nappy Change Wrestle: A relatable moment all parents know well! Meg explains the developmental reason why babies resist nappy changes at this age and offers practical tips.

This is an info-packed and reassuring conversation for any parent with a baby on the move!
