Welcome back to Mum Club 101! Your favourite Motherhood Podcast with besties Katy and Vicky.

This week’s episode is packed with laughs, real talk, and a deep dive into one of the most pressing parenting topics today: is screen time doing more than just tiring out little eyes?

This Week’s Catch-Up:

• Vicky shares her journey getting tested for gestational diabetes
• Katy’s in the thick of toddlerhood with a big cot-to-bed transition, we talk challenges and top tips
• Katy prepares for our youngest to turn two and all the emotions associated with the end of 'the baby phase'

Critique of the Week: Is Screen Time Undermining Our Kids’ Sense Development?
We’re hearing more about kids developing myopia (short-sightedness) and even vertigo, but there’s a much quieter concern in the background: underdeveloped sensory systems.

We’re unpacking:

• How screens might be limiting proprioceptive (body awareness) and vestibular (balance) input.
• Why kids are moving less and why it matters.
• The real-life, practical strategies we can use to bring back sensory-rich play (even if it's raining and the soft play is shut).

What Can We Do as Parents? We share small, doable ideas to help balance screen use with sensory development, no guilt or Pinterest perfection parenting required.

New Segment Alert:We introduce a bit of fun with our own version of the game ‘Last One Laughing’
