From Libertyville and Vernon Hills to Crystal Lake, McHenry, Grayslake, and Algonquin, North Shore Lactation helps families throughout Lake and McHenry Counties overcome feeding challenges with expert, evidence-based care delivered right to their homes.
We regularly support families throughout Libertyville, Vernon Hills, Mundelein, Grayslake, Gurnee, Lake Zurich, Crystal Lake, and neighboring communities. Whether you're breastfeeding for the first time or navigating pumping, our IBCLCs bring personalized care directly to your home.
Many of the families we support are transitioning home after delivery at Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital, Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital, Advocate Condell Medical Center, Endeavor Health Highland Park Hospital, and other nearby hospitals. We often begin with a virtual consultation while you're still in the hospital, followed by an in-home visit after discharge.
From lakefront communities like Lake Zurich and Crystal Lake to the wider stretches of Grayslake and McHenry, our consultants regularly travel throughout the county — bringing expert, evidence-based lactation care directly to families who'd otherwise face a much longer trip for support.
Below are answers to common questions about breastfeeding, lactation consultations, and what to expect.
