lactation consultants

Are they free? If you call the hospital and talk to a lactation consultant is that considered a free service

The lactation consultants at my hospital said to call them anytime for help it was free at mine. There's also a breastfeeding forum on here where the girls are very helpful

No I don't believe they charge you. I ended up meeting with one at a hospital I didn't even have my daughter at, twice actually, and they never charged me. And she sat with me for over two hours one of the times.

My hospital did not charge me for the lactation consultant beyond what I was charged just to be there anyway.

Have you already had your baby? If so there's a wic office in your area you could go up there and they will help you if your having problems with latch an etc... They also provide pumps. I wouldnt think they would charge you if you call but i no in my area there only yhere m-f so your screwed if you have the baby on the weekend.If you haven't had the baby they will talk with you in the hospital for free.
