Liz Levy, RN, BSN, IBCLC | Lactation Consultant - Kansas City Metro Area
Helping families who want confidence, calm & consistent support in their feeding journey. Breastfeeding is a natural process but it is also a learning experience for both mom and baby. Studies have shown that mothers are more successful with breastfeeding if they have professional support from a certified lactation consultant. I graduated from the University of Kansas with degrees in Human Biology and Nursing. I have been a Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) nurse since 2010 and have been working as a Lactation Consultant since 2012. I am a Registered Nurse (RN), a Certified Breastfeeding Educator (CBE) and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have always been passionate about breastfeeding and believe that every family deserves the right to give their baby the best start in life. Each family is different and I pride myself on being able to tailor my services to what works best for your life. I offer private prenatal breastfeeding classes as well as in-home breastfeeding consultations. I look forward to working with you and your family! Specialties:
-Latch issues
-Premature infants
-Multiples
-Special situations (Trisomy 21, cleft lip/palate and other medical complications)
-Exclusive pumping/bottle feeding
-Returning to work (pumping, breastmilk storage, etc)
-Low milk supply/over supply
-Breast conditions (inverted nipples, previous breast surgeries, engorgement, plugged ducts, etc)

I provide prenatal breastfeeding classes and lactation services for families in Kansas City, Leawood, Overland Park, Olathe and Shawnee. If you are outside of these areas, please contact me to see if arrangements can be made. Charges may apply for travel distances greater than 25mi from Overland Park. Please see my website for service rates.

🙃 You might see lactation packages and think “Why would someone pay for that?”

Here’s the truth. Effective feeding support rarely happens in a single visit. Babies change quickly, new questions come up, and feeding plans often need adjustments along the way.

Concierge care allows me to provide ongoing guidance, collaboration with your other providers, and real-time troubleshooting as things evolve.

✅ From constant second guessing to confidence in how your baby feeds
✅ From trying random advice to having a clear, personalized plan
✅ From hoping things will just get easier to actually enjoying feeding your baby

Because the real goal isn’t more visits. It’s less stress, more confidence, and feeding that finally feels like it’s working.

Pumping or planning to? Read this 👇🏽

Most people use the wrong pump fl**ge size.
Not slightly wrong.
WILDLY WRONG.

And that can mean pain, ni**le damage, poor milk removal, and frustration that starts on day one.

Visit me at my Pump Fl**ge Fitting Clinic where you can:
✅Be properly measured
✅Try different fl**ge shapes and sizes
✅Leave with the size that actually fits YOU!

This is especially helpful during pregnancy (recommended for past 32 weeks) so your pump is ready before baby arrives, but postpartum parents are welcome too!

I had such a wonderful time this past weekend presenting “It’s More Than Just Milk: Supporting Breastfeeding Families” to the fabulous doulas at ! We got to talk all about how doulas can be the first line of defense for supporting breastfeeding families - from helping them prepare for breastfeeding a new baby to what to do when things aren’t going well. It was a great discussion and they had some very insightful questions! Thanks again for having me!

💖 Would your doula group be interested in this presentation too? DM me for more info! I’d love to chat with your group!

😖 You tense up before every feeding time because you’re expecting pain, frustration, or another round of “why is this still so hard?” You’re already counting down until it’s over and then the guilt hits right after. This is NOT what you pictured when you imagined feeding your baby.

😊 Now picture feeding without clenching your jaw, curling your toes, or feeling that sense of dread. Your shoulders drop. Your baby settles faster. You start trusting your body again. Feeding becomes a moment of connection instead of something you survive.

💕 You don’t need to push through this alone. Comment HELP for more info.

Great news for families with extra milk to donate! This makes it so easy!

We’re proud to share that the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment is now an official human milk donation drop-off site in partnership with the Oklahoma Mothers' Milk Bank and the Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition Inc.

Donated human milk can be lifesaving for premature and medically fragile babies. All milk donated at our site undergoes careful screening and pasteurization, then is distributed back to hospitals in our region—helping local infants who need it most. Learn more about becoming a donor: okmilkbank.org

📍 Drop-off location: Olathe Health Services Building, 11875 S. Sunset Dr. Olathe, KS
🕗 Monday–Friday | 8 a.m.–4 p.m.

Hospital-based lactation support and outpatient lactation care serve different roles - and both are important!

Hospital IBCLCs support families during the immediate postpartum period, while ongoing lactation care outside of the hospital supports families as feeding evolves, challenges emerge, and babies grow.

Most families benefit from both. My role is to provide continued, individualized feeding support beyond the hospital stay, with close follow-up and care tailored to each family’s individual goals.

When feeding feels steady, your nervous system settles too. Early feeding support can change the entire postpartum experience. If you want to start off feeling steady instead of scrambling, let’s talk.

I truly love working alongside other providers to support families during the postpartum period. Feeding challenges are often complex and families benefit most when care is collaborative and connected.

💞 To the providers I am so grateful to work alongside: To make referrals easier, I wanted to share a quick overview of the types of families who tend to be the best fit for each level of lactation support I offer.

My goal is always to complement the care you’re already providing, with thoughtful assessments, close follow-up, and open communication.

I’m always happy to connect or answer any questions - feel free to DM me anytime. Thank you for continuing to trust me with your clients! 🩷

It’s Testimonial Tuesday!

💖 “Our little guy has had a hard 6 weeks of his life with a lip and tongue tie, colicky because of it and some other health scares. We’ve felt so supported having Liz on our team and she’s recommended other great people to work with as well. She’s super knowledgeable about all things ties and lactation. Can’t recommend Liz enough! She’s been a great support!” - Michelle
