Nicole Noar, RN, IBCLC, the Founder and CEO of Snuggle Shield, an award-winning baby brand created to help families protect infants while traveling and navigating everyday public life joins eHealth Radio and the Infant Health and Health News Channels.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Nicole Noar discuss the following::

SUMMARY: As both a nurse and a mom, I’ve learned that protecting our babies isn’t about living in fear—it’s about making informed, practical choices. Simple habits like washing hands, avoiding close contact with people who are sick, staying current with your pediatrician’s recommendations, breastfeeding when possible, and using thoughtful protective tools during higher-risk situations can all help reduce unnecessary exposure while allowing families to confidently enjoy life together. My hope is that parents feel empowered with knowledge, trust their instincts, and remember that small, intentional steps can make a meaningful difference.

Nicole Noar, RN, IBCLC, is a registered nurse with more than 16 years of nursing experience in maternal health, certified in inpatient obstetrics, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, entrepreneur, patented inventor, and the Founder & CEO of Snuggle Shield.

After becoming a mother herself, Nicole recognized an unmet need for helping protect babies who are too young to wear masks while in public settings. Combining her professional healthcare experience with her firsthand perspective as a mom, she invented Snuggle Shield to help families reduce exposure to everyday airborne particles, allergens, and environmental irritants while maintaining comfort, breathability, and visibility.

Today, Snuggle Shield has earned multiple national awards, including Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA), NAPPA Awards, and Baby Innovation Awards, and has been featured by major media outlets including FOX 5 San Diego, KTLA, LA Living, LA Parent Magazine and Baby Maternity Magazine.

Nicole is passionate about educating parents on infant wellness, breastfeeding, safe travel, and practical ways to help protect babies without sacrificing life’s special moments. Her mission is to empower families with evidence-informed education and innovative products that help parents travel with greater confidence and peace of mind.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Stephanie Shorr discuss the following:

TIP: One of the simplest ways to begin improving your health is to start paying closer attention to how your body responds to your daily choices. Notice how you feel after certain foods, how much energy you have after moving your body, how your sleep affects your mood, and whether your habits are supporting or draining you. You do not have to overhaul your entire life overnight. Start with one small, repeatable change, such as adding more whole foods, taking a short walk after meals, drinking more water, or stretching for a few minutes each day. Small steps, practiced consistently, can create meaningful changes in your health over time.
