    Welcome back to The Making (and Unmaking)! This week we are joined by Emma who shared with us her story of navigating illness and sleep. Emma shares some fantastic insight for parents who may be facing similar issues. We also discuss how difficult it may be to find a sleep practitioner who is suitable for you.

We would like to share with listeners these guidelines set out by Infant Sleep Australia (@infant.sleep.australia on Instagram) - Do they hold a university degree or higher in the relevant field? (sleep, health or psychology) - Have they completed additional specialised training in sleep from a credible source? (university professors, board certified sleep medicine physicians, clinical psychologists) - Are they affiliated with a hospital, university, or research institute? - Do they follow the safe sleep guidelines? - Can they clearly explain the evidence behind their advice?
