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.  FIND OUT MORE Learn more about Elina and work with her here: https://thesleepexpert.com/  Follow Elina on Instagram @the.sleep.expert FOLLOW US KICPOD @kicpod on InstagramSteph Claire Smith @stephclairesmith on Instagram & @steph_claire_smith on TikTokLaura Henshaw @laura.henshaw on Instagram & @laura.henshaw on TiktokKic @kic.app on Instagram & @kic on TikTok and kicapp.com or download the app from the App Store and Google Play StoreSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?
