Dr Billy Garvey is back! We had Billy on KICBUMP earlier in the year to talk about all things sleep and this week he is back to answer all your questions. Like: I have a toddler and I’m pregnant with my second. Will I ever sleep again? What does sugar and screen time do to a kids’ sleep? What if my kid only ever catnaps? How do I transition from a crib to a toddler bed? Using melatonin to sleep + lots more.

In case you’ve missed our previous episodes with Billy, he 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.

This is part one of our sleep episode with Billy from February: https://pod.fo/e/2a87ea

Out with protein...in with fibre? It feels like we’ve been told to eat ENORMOUS amounts of protein for a while now…but now TikTok is telling us that we need to forget about protein and focus on getting more fibre. This week we call our Kic dietitian, Liv Morrison, to help unpack it all.

Plus Gayle King was one of the women who went to space recently and it looked like she would rather be anywhere else, so we asked you…what do you hate that everyone else loves?

Courtney Ugle is a proud Noongar woman from Bunbury, WA, and the founder of Waangkiny: an organisation committed to breaking down the stigma of silence in First Nations communities.

Courtney lost both of her parents in tragic circumstances when she was young. She lost her dad first at 11 years old, and her mum when she was 19 years old.

Since then Courtney has shared her story to ensure that no other young Indigenous person experiences what she did. Indigenous people are 33 times more likely to be hospitalised as a result of family and domestic violence, and eight times more likely to be killed as a result of family and domestic violence than non Indigenous counterparts, and in this episode Courtney helps us understand some of the reasons behind these stats.

We were honoured that Courtney chose to share her story with us <3
