WTAF!? Controversial topics in bite sized portions. When you only have time for a quick fix, but you’re wanting something spicy!

This week we’re sharing an IG reel that sparked a discussion on body image. The reel shows a woman’s funeral where she’s being remembered only for how she looks. We discuss whether this kind of content is shaming women for taking care of themselves and valuing their appearance, or whether it’s a healthy reminder that body image isn’t everything. 

Hannah and Emma both had differing opinions on the reel which made this chat extra spicy! 

This week is sponsored by Nala, our favourite undies and bras, now with the sexiest maternity bras on the market. 

Nala have breastfeeding mums covered with their new maternity bras, that will help you feel sexy, confident, comfortable and on trend whenever and wherever you need to feed your bub.

169. Oral and Airway Health in Children with Dr Shereen Lim

This week we’re chatting all things toilet training, focussing on overnights and bed wetting! We’re talking to the lovely Bel and Alex, founders of The Independence Hub, who answer our questions on what age you should toilet train overnight, what some of the readiness signs are, and what you can do if your child is bed wetting. 

This episode has some great insights and resources on toilet training overnight, as well as toilet training tips in general! 

Belinda and Alex are two paediatric Occupational Therapists and co founders of The Independence Hub; an online platform with resources that make toilet training simple for children and their caregivers.

After seeing the benefit of personalised toilet stories when supporting hundreds of children with toileting in their clinical experience, they’ve created a platform where parents can make their child a photo-personalised e-book, animated video and visual cue cards about using the toilet, that ignites confidence and empowers independence.
