Out of interest, can I ask how much the "lactation consultation" cost?
Here in the UK, my wife's breast feeding help consisted of an inexperienced midwife (possibly only a trainee), awkwardly being remarkably unhelpful.
- fma 7y agoI believe it was $200. For our first daughter ours was helpful. We took a class (paid by ourselves) before hand but it definitely helps to have someone walk through it with your actual baby. However for each delivery the nurses knew enough to be helpful too. Also, since my wife has had surgery to remove a benign tumor in her breast, lactation consultation was covered the first time. No idea WTF happened the second time. This is the US medical system for you. I'd also like to add we received a random bill for our first daughter 2 years later. No idea what it was, but the insurance covered all of it so I didn't care.
