Cornerstone is a private, self-pay practice, which means longer visits and a plan built around your baby, not insurance limits. Superbills are provided on request for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Lactation visits may be covered through The Lactation Network and feeding therapy may be covered by BCBS PPO plans.

Pricing varies by service as feeding evaluations, lactation packages and visits, and the NICU Homecoming Package are each priced differently. See full pricing on the Feeding Therapy, Lactation Support, or NICU Homecoming pages.

Cornerstone provides in-home visits across Chicago and nearby north suburbs, including Park Ridge, Evanston, Skokie, Niles, Morton Grove, Lincolnwood, Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Highland Park, Northbrook, Deerfield, and Glenview. A $50 fee applies beyond 20 miles. Live elsewhere in Illinois? Virtual evaluations and therapy are available at the same rate.

Yes. Illinois families can receive full evaluations and therapy virtually, at the same rate as an in-home visit.

Feeding challenges and lactation challenges are often connected. A latch that isn't improving might be an oral-motor issue, and a feeding concern might trace back to reduced milk supply or transfer. Cornerstone is led by a provider who is both a Speech-Language Pathologist and a Lactation Consultant, so the full picture is seen in a single visit rather than needing separate providers to piece it together. That means a more accurate plan, built faster.

Cornerstone supports feeding development across infancy, from newborn latching and bottle feeding through the introduction of cups, straws, and solid foods. Whether your baby is a few days old or working through a later feeding milestone, care is tailored to that specific stage.

Every evaluation begins with listening to your story, followed by a thorough assessment of how your baby is feeding. You'll leave with a plan and clear next steps you can act on at home.

With extensive NICU experience, Cornerstone understands the feeding challenges that follow premature and medically complex babies home. See our NICU Homecoming page.
