The Founders & Owners of Boston NAPS
We headed to one to my favorite areas of Boston...Southie! We got to meet the ladies of Boston NAPS. They are the saviors new parents need when they are having their first child. Helping parents to stop believing the perfect mom and dad instragram hype, stop you from comparing your baby to other babies, and most importantly to remind parents to stop beating themselves up over every little thing. NO PARENT IS PERFECT! And who to trust more than someone helping parents not screw it up, while they as moms, are also trying not screw it up! One big difference though they are a team of a nurse practitioner and a registered nurse, so they have the medical knowledge to help you through. Boston NAPS is the leading provider of prenatal education, in home nursing care, and breastfeeding support for families after they have a baby. Also, I have to admit I love these ladies. They are laid back and real, and they love to swear, which makes everything better in my opinion. These are moms who have five kids between the two of them, and they understand how crazy mom life can be, and what parents need to stay sane and raise their child safely. They know everyone can get really overwhelmed by the information out there—so they are breaking it down to make it as easy as possible for new parents. They also have some business advice—they said they never listened to what the business books says they just organically built this business a little bit at a time. They say “it’s like boiling pasta. Then threw it at the wall and see what sticks”. They say nothing is never going to line up completely perfect so go for it. You have one sweet life, so what are you really waiting for?
