An honest sleep update with Steph & Dr Billy Garvey - KICBUMP
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.
