## Resource

Charlie and Millie discuss the current hot topic surrounding sleep experts and Maternity Nurses, exploring the lack of regulation within the industry and the wider gaps in postnatal support available to new parents. The ladies question who can truly call themselves a consultant, and whether experience should be measured by years in the role or genuine expertise. They highlight how the title has become a common career progression for a Nanny, but ask the important question: who determines the level of knowledge and experience behind it? The conversation also touches on the growing lack of consistent postnatal care and how many parents are left feeling unsupported during the early weeks of parenthood. The hosts discuss how this vulnerability can lead families to seek guidance online, often turning to social media personalities and influencers for reassurance and advice. Charlotte, Charlie and Millie emphasise the importance of parental due diligence, discussing how a strong online presence does not necessarily equate to professional credibility, qualifications or safe practice. The episode also breaks down the sleep guidance published by The Lullaby Trust and the National Health Service, discussing the key recommendations and why safe sleep guidance remains so important for families and carers alike.

I have asked her a few times if there is anything i can do to help, but she says no. She was such a wonderful nanny to D when she was a baby, i dont know what to do? Keep her or find someone with older…
