Tri-County Breastfeeding Coaltition

Breastfeeding Support Close to Home

The Health Departments in Calhoun, Greene and Jersey counties are staffed with breastfeeding experts, including Certified Lactation Consultants (CLC) and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

Through a grant from the Illinois Public Health Institute and in collaboration with JCH Healthcare, we have created this coalition to increase awareness of the breastfeeding resources and supports available in the tri-county area.

Our mission is to help you reach your breastfeeding goals by providing support close to home.

We serve all women regardless of income, at no charge.

Available Services:

  • prenatal breastfeeding education

  • help with common breastfeeding problems such as difficulties with latching

  • exclusive pumping support

  • flange sizing

  • weighted feeds, and so much more!
