KICBump

Alice Bleathman is a dietitian and creator based near Byron Bay. Alice gave birth to her bub Tide over a year ago - only a few weeks before Steph gave birth to Billie.
Steph connected with Alice online over their shared struggles with sleep and we were so excited to have her in the studio <3
In this episode, Steph sits down with Alice to speak about the things she has changed her mind about in parenting, including sleep training, and daycare, as well as the judgment she has copped online for doing these things.

It’s our OB Dr Amanda Ward! Long time listeners will know that she was the Obstetrician for both Steph when she had Harvey & Billie, and Laura with Atlas.
We love Amanda and we know you guys love her too, so we asked you for your birth questions!
What do I need to consider if I’m having a C-section? Why do so many OBs not support VBACs? How long do I need to wait between having C-sections? Is it possible to have vaginal birth after multiple endo surgeries? When you can’t have an epidural? And lots more!

Big week of updates this week, y’all! Steph is loving a new way of connecting with Billie and investigating some medical things with Harvey. Laura feels like a mixed berry smoothie and she’d love to be deconstructed, please. Plus - Laura & Dalton’s have some new calendar invites.
And! We open the mailbox and hear Angelica’s bub’s transition to the cot.
