Kaye Adams asks if breastfeeding should be allowed anytime, anyplace and anywhere, plus Dr Michael Mosley joins her for a special Sleep Clinic.

PHONE IN
There's been widespread coverage of Australian Senator Larissa Waters becoming the first politician to breastfeed in the nation's parliament. Ms Waters, from the left-wing Greens party, fed two-month-old daughter Alia Joy during a vote on Tuesday. Also this week the death of breastfeeding campaigner Sophie Emma Rose has led to more calls for the normalisation of the practice. 

KAYE ASKS:
Should there be any restrictions on breastfeeding or should it be anytime, anyplace, anywhere? 

SLEEP CLINIC
We are one of the most sleep-deprived countries in the world. Ahead of the broadcast of his latest programme, The Truth About Sleep, insomniac Dr Michael Mosley joins Kaye for a special sleep clinic.

JACKIE GILCHRIST
With 127 countries under her belt Jackie Gilchrist has been named as the 6th most travelled woman in the UK and is thought to be Scotland's most travelled woman. She joins Kaye just after 10. 

BLUE WHALE
Schools, the police and the NSPCC are appealing to parents to beware The Blue Whale Challenge - a sick social media game that apparently encourages young people to harm themselves. There are questions about its origin and some of the reporting of it but it's far from the first disturbing craze to arise online but what is the best way to respond to and deal with them? Scott Downie is a Web Based Technologist. Jim Gamble is founding Chief Executive of Child Exploitation & Online Protection Centre and CEO of INEQE. 

AVOCADO HAND
Surgeons say that growing numbers of amateur chefs are reporting to accident and emergency department with what they are calling "avocado hand" - serious stab and slash injuries that are the result of failed attempts cut open the fruit. Kaye gets a guide on how to avoid it happening to you. 

ONLY CHILDREN 
It's been reported that only children are more creative but selfish. We hear about the pros and cons of being an only child. 

BOTTLED WATER
Keep Britain Tidy have started a campaign to make sure people know their rights when it comes to asking for tap water. They want people to stop using plastic bottles. Is it time to ditch bottled water?
