Why your kid is always sick | Ask Ready or Not

Welcome back to Ask Ready or Not! It’s Ready or Not’s tip-based episode, landing in your ears every Friday.

This week, Loz chats with Nicole Gleeman, emergency nurse and founder of Rhythm First Aid and Bumpies, about what to actually do when your child gets sick, injured, or starts solids.

Nicole has spent over a decade in emergency departments, and she’s on a mission to make parents feel calm and confident when the chaos hits. She shares what’s normal when it comes to constant daycare bugs, when to go to the doctor or emergency, and the signs of dehydration you should never ignore.

You’ll hear her myth-busting takes on fevers, choking, croup, and burns plus the truth about probiotics, Panadol, and what to actually keep in your first-aid kit.
