Lactation Clinic

Every Monday, from noon to 1:30pm, we host a lactation clinic for clients AND non-clients to have hands-on support. Getting time with an IBCLC can be difficult when you need help NOW – and we get that! Lisa Zimmerman, of Maternal Health Connections, is here to offer support with questions and common breast and chestfeeding questions, as well as clinical support.

• Latch concerns
• Supply
• Transition from home to work
• Diagnosing a Tongue or Lip Tie
• Positioning
• Weight Gain
• Bottle feeding
• Clogged Ducts
• Mastitis

The Drop-in Clinic is $40 and requires no appointment. The last walk-in is at 1:30 pm so we know you can have the time you need. Want us to know you’re on your way? Call our front desk at 773-232-2299 option #3.

Human Milk Depot + Dispensary

Birth Center of Chicago is partnered with the Mother’s Milk Bank of Western Great Lakes. We work to serve families looking to donate milk by offering a convenient location for drop off as a Milk Depot that insures their precious ounces are securely and safely delivered to the milk bank for processing and redistribution.

We also provide small quantities of milk for sale as a Milk Dispensary to support families needing help through transitions.

Milk Donors
If you are already a donor with the Mother’s Milk Bank of Western Great Lakes, you are welcome to bring your milk donations during any of our normal office ours. You do not need an appointment for drop off during normal hours. If you would like to arrange a time outside our normal hours, please email Ariel@birthcenterofchicago.com
