North Shore
Supporting Families Throughout Chicago's North Shore and North Suburbs
From Evanston and Wilmette to Winnetka, Highland Park, Lake Forest, and Glenview, North Shore Lactation helps families navigate feeding challenges with expert, evidence-based care delivered where they live.
Deep Roots in the North Shore
We regularly support families throughout Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Glenview, Northbrook, Deerfield, Skokie, and nearby communities—from those first newborn feedings through weaning and return-to-work transitions. Our IBCLCs bring personalized, evidence-based care right to your door.
Supporting Families After Delivery
Many of the families we support are transitioning home after delivery at Endeavor Health Evanston Hospital, Endeavor Health Highland Park Hospital, Endeavor Health Glenbrook Hospital, Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital, and other nearby hospitals. We often begin with a telehealth visit while you're still in the hospital, then follow up with an in-home consultation soon after discharge.

From lakefront communities like Winnetka, Glencoe, and Lake Forest to neighborhoods throughout Evanston, Deerfield, Northbrook, and Glenview, our consultants understand the unique needs of North Shore families. We bring expert, evidence-based lactation support directly to your home, where feeding happens every day.
