Emma answers listener questions.

In this episode:

Q) How can I stop air leaking from the mask? I can't wear it any tighter.

Q) If there's no leaking, do I still need to change them every 3-6 months?

Q) Do you wash new CPAP supplies?

Q) How do people manage camping/adventures with their kids and using CPAP?

Q) 2 weeks using CPAP, when should I see a change? I honestly feel more exhausted than before.
