HI, I'M SHAUNA
AND WELCOME TO BABY AFTER HOURS!
My journey with newborn care began many years ago as a nanny, where I quickly discovered my passion for supporting newborns and their parents. This passion grew over time and inspired me to pursue further education in Holistic Newborn Care and Postpartum Support.
In 2021, I found out I was expecting my first daughter. Determined to breastfeed, I sought advice from La Leche League and got off to a great start. With my knowledge of gentle sleep conditioning, Marsali was sleeping through the night by two months old! However, by the third month, my milk supply dropped, and her weight flatlined. I realized I had missed something crucial.
When I became pregnant with my second daughter, I knew I needed more education. I wanted to exclusively breastfeed, AND sleep! This led me to pursue my Lactation Educator Certification. With this new knowledge, I was able to merge my understanding of both sleep and breastfeeding to create a plan that worked for our family goals.
