In this episode, Savannah sits down to Laura to catch up on her running streak, how she’s prepping for the Sydney Marathon, her non-nuclear family, why she moved out of her house with her partner, and the impact of weight loss medication use on her body image.

You asked: how are you feeling about work? Have you experienced “pregnancy brain”? Do you have a birth plan? Have you & Dalton been having sex!? And lots more…

We know we need it…but how many of us are actually getting enough sleep? Turns out - not a lot! This week Laura speaks with sleep expert Elina Winell about the fundamentals of good sleep - how much of each stage we need, if we can really “catch up” on sleep, what’s worth putting into your sleep routine and what’s not, and the importance of calming our nervous system throughout the day and not just before bed.

Steph’s been on her phone more than she’d like but she has a plan to try and quit it!

But we want to know from you - what have you done that’s actually worked!? Tell us on Instagram @kicpod.

Plus! One of our team members had her AirPods turn up somewhere she wasn’t expecting, which inspired us to ask you…what’s your wild AirPods story?

And! Laura finally got fitted for a new maternity bra 🙌

It’s KICBUMP fave - Dr Billy Garvey! Billy is back this week to talk about our favourite topic…sleep. This time it’s a little different as Steph & Billy are both in the newborn phase with babies Billie and Heidi.

In this episode, Billy and Steph both share what sleep is looking like in their homes right now, the things they’re proud of, and the things they’re less proud of, how Billy transitioned his two older kids to share a room, parental preference, and lots more.

This episode of KICBUMP is with thanks to Bonds. There’s so much to think about when it comes to sleep, and Bonds is here to take one thing off your plate, with the only baby clothing approved by Red Nose for safer sleep.

ABOUT BILLY

Billy is a developmental paediatrician and senior specialist at one of Australia’s largest tertiary paediatric hospitals with over 20 years experience working with families and children, and is the father of a three-year-old and one-year-old.

Billy has been on the KICBUMP to talk about sleep twice before.

This is part one of our sleep episode with Billy from February. It’s called 'Is sleep training the answer? How Steph is planning for baby no.2 - KICBUMP with Dr Billy Garvey': https://pod.fo/e/2d18e7 

Part two was 'Your sleep questions answered - KICBUMP with Dr Billy' Garvey: https://pod.fo/e/2a87ea
