Helping you build confidence and reach the breastfeeding goals that matter to you.
Registered nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with over 20 years of experience supporting families in a Level IV NICU.
Meet Lauren LiButti, RN, IBCLC
After two decades caring for medically complex newborns and guiding parents through some of their most vulnerable moments, Lauren expanded her practice to focus on personalized, hands-on lactation support.
As a mother of two, Lauren also understands breastfeeding challenges firsthand. Her own experiences navigating feeding difficulties shaped her compassionate, judgment-free approach and deep commitment to helping families feel informed, supported, and confident.
Through her private practice, Lakeside Lactation, Lauren provides individualized, evidence-based lactation care to families throughout Lake County and the North Shore suburbs of Chicago. Every visit is designed to leave families feeling reassured, empowered, and equipped with a clear plan forward.
“Lauren was such an incredible support during my breastfeeding journey with my third son. She helped me navigate a possible tongue tie, improve comfort, and confidently take next steps. She is thoughtful, thorough, and truly caring—and even brought activities to keep my older kids busy during our visits. I highly recommend her. Thanks to Lauren, I’m still breastfeeding my 6-month-old and hoping to make it a full year!”
