Lauren Shuler

Welcome! My name is Lauren Shuler, and I'm the founder of Nourishing Tiny Humans. Parenting feels like drinking out of a fire hose these days (thanks internet!) I'm an avid researcher and consumer of evidence, and I love distilling it down into a more consumable form. Along the way I've developed a passion for helping other parents navigate the plethora of information out there on pregnancy, birth, postpartum, feeding, lactation, and parenting in general. I whole-heartedly believe that intuition, feelings, and evidence are not mutually exclusive. As a board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC), I have a particular love for lactation and infant feeding. It is such a huge part of our first year as humans (and as caretakers to those tiny humans), but it also plays such an important long-term role in the physical and mental health of parent and baby. Unfortunately many of us have lost the cultural knowledge of lactation, and many folks go into the experience fearful or with limited information. I am passionate about giving parents support, education, and confidence in meeting their chest/breastfeeding goals, whatever those may be.
