About Ashley Shapiro, IBCLC and Postpartum RN and L&D Nurse:
My love for lactation started in 2018 when I personally went through breastfeeding challenges with my daughter. I struggled through 6 weeks of breastfeeding issues, my baby also had a lip tie and tongue tie, which was a huge learning curve on how to navigate as a first time mom. I obtained my International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) credential from The University of California San Diego. What makes me unique is that I have my Bachelors of Science in Nursing! I have experience working as a Postpartum RN (Registered Nurse) on the Mother Baby Unit and a Baby Nurse on Labor and Delivery.
No two families are the same, and each baby is different; Whether you have preconceived ideas related to breastfeeding, or a previous unpleasant feeding journey, I will work closely with you to help overcome those challenges and reach your desired feeding goals. My purpose is to create an overall positive feeding experience by creating a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment for you and your infant. Whether you plan to breastfeed, formula feed, or combination feed, I want to support you!
