If you're worried you're not making enough milk, you're not alone — and it's often more fixable than it feels. Our IBCLCs find the root cause and build a plan to protect and increase your supply.
4.9300+ ReviewsWondering if your baby is getting enough milk? Our IBCLCs use evidence-based assessments, including weighted feeds, to accurately measure milk transfer and identify what's really going on.
If you're worried about your milk supply, you're far from alone — and there's a clear path forward.
Low milk supply is rarely caused by just one thing. Our IBCLCs find the root cause and build a plan tailored to your baby, your body, and your goals.
We identify whether supply is truly low and uncover the factors contributing to the problem.
Precise pre- and post-feed weights on medical-grade scales show exactly how much milk your baby is transferring.
We fine-tune your flange fit, pump settings, and schedule — small adjustments that often make a real difference in output.
We assess latch, positioning, and sucking patterns to find mechanics that may be limiting your supply.
We evaluate tongue and lip ties that can cause inefficient transfer and ongoing supply concerns.
You leave with a clear, realistic plan — shared with your pediatrician and OB/GYN after every visit.
Let's find out what's affecting your supply — and what will help.
Real reviews from Chicagoland families we've supported through milk supply challenges.
"Every suggestion she gave worked and helped increase my supply, which is what I was seeking. When we started I was lucky if I pumped 1½-3 ounces a DAY. I'm currently pumping 3-9 ounces each pump. Without her help and guidance I would have thrown in the towel and quit. Thank you, Julie!"
"Melissa was recommended by our pediatrician and we could not be happier with support. She is knowledgeable and very patient and always here to answer when we need. Following her advice my milk supply increased rapidly and I feel a lot more confident as a nursing mom of a fussy boy ... Thank you, Melissa for having my back!"
"Melissa has been so helpful and has made me feel so much better about having expert guidance on how to improve my supply."
"She helped us with finding a good latch, showing us some tricks to get the milk supply to come in, and answering all our questions. The session was so needed for new parents like us. We would highly recommend the service!"
"North Shore Lactation gave us a lot of tips, positions, advice related to pumping, counting how much milk I produce and how much she eats! They have a great professionalism even if it is online or in person. I would recommend it to everyone!"
