Hi, I'm Shelly Taft
I’m a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Doula, Family Educator,International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and Infant Sleep Coach. I’ve been supporting new families in the childbirth year since 2007.
Every family is different, so I don’t believe in a cookie-cutter approach to parenting support. I will work with you to develop a plan that works for your life and your family.
My passion is providing judgement free, evidenced based support and education to families from pregnancy and through the first year of their child's life.
I’ve supported more than a thousand families in their parenting journey, and I’d be honored to help you, too.

Our goal is to provide quality, personalized support. In order to do that, we have to limit the number of families who can join.
For this reason, we do not offer refunds.
There may be exceptions made in certain situations. You can contact us here if you have any questions.
Our live classes are offered multiple times throughout the six month membership period, offering lot of opportunities to enroll in each class.
Many of our classes are recorded and can be done whenever it fits into your schedule!
All our providers are busy moms themselves, so we get how it can be hard to fit things in, which is one of the reasons we decided to create The Baby Pro Bistro.
Absolutely not! Our community is made for expecting and new parents, up through the first year of your baby's life.

Yes, some insurances do reimburse for part of the membership fee. However, we never guarantee reimbursement and encourage you to verify your benefits for coverage or prenatal classes and breastfeeding consults. If you have questions, just send us a message.
Absolutely! The Baby Pro Bistro applies through the first year of your child's life, so many families who join during pregnancy will often renew for another six months to continue to receive support in the postpartum period.
