The average lactation consultation is approximately $100.00 - $175.00 per hr (USD). Because of my handicap, I can no longer work in the lactation clinic. My current "practice" is limited to the Internet. I do not charge for email consultation.
However, if you feel I have helped you, or your baby, you can make a donation through paypal using my email address. Your support is greatly appreciated.
