In this video
Babies and young toddlers are at the center of Charlotte Snyder's July 2026 Q&A, starting with a 9-month-old who seems bored with toys. The live session is for parents of children under three. Questions include babyproofing for a new crawler, food preferences and treats, and potty training with wiping and handwashing. There's also a part on how much to step in when a child struggles a little.
