Success Stories

Shelly was a godsend for getting our twin 5 month old babies sleeping better. I came to her with two babies who would only breast-feed to sleep and contact nap. She gave us the tools we needed to work with them individually to improve their sleep. It was a high priority to us to honor each of our sons needs, and she helped us to come up with individualized plans for each baby that took into consideration their temperaments and personalities. i cannot recommend her highly enough if you are struggling and in search of compassionate and judgement free help. shelly is an absolute wealth of knowledge. book the consult

Shelly is fantastic, I can't recommend her enough! I saw her for a virtual sleep consultation for my oldest son...it was so convenient. We were dealing with frequent night wakes/early rising and did NOT want to resort to the 'cry it out' method as recommended by our pedi. Shelly listened to all of my concerns and came up with a plan that worked for our family...she provided all the tools we needed to be successful including a sleep log and even some other easy tips to help encourage better sleep.

Guided by an Expert in Baby feeding and Sleep

Meet Shelly

Hi, I'm Shelly Taft. I'm a Licensed Practical Nurse and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with a busy private practice just outside of Boston (where we know all too well that parking is an extreme sport). For the past ten years, I've been dedicated to helping families with their baby's feeding and sleep.

When I first opened my practice, I quickly realized that many families struggling with feeding issues were also facing challenges with sleep. They were frustrated by the conflicting information online and were looking for gentle sleep solutions that didn't involve letting their babies cry-it-out. I noticed that traditional sleep training methods often disrupted the breastfeeding relationship, leading to a drop in milk supply and slowed weight gain for babies, and lots of stress for the parents!

To address this, I became certified as a sleep educator and sleep coach. My goal is to help families achieve better sleep without compromising your baby's need for attachment and comfort. I take a holistic approach, tailoring strategies to fit each family's unique needs—no cookie-cutter solutions here!

When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, and knitting. I'm also a passionate beekeeper, which adds a sweet touch to my busy life.
