Thought Id post this here so more people see it 
Do you have to pay to see one? I think I need to see one as Isabella has been a very fussy feeder and wont stay latched on for very long  Even though I have plenty of milk.------------- |

I think they have some at the Plunket family centres.
Ones that you call up and have come to you cost $60/hour over here. I saw my doc who is one the other week and it was free - not sure if it's because she's my GP or because Morgan was under a month old or what it was. Don't know if any of that helps. But hope you get some answers - we're in a similar boat here. Just expressed 200mls but can't get Morgan to feed from me for more than 15 minutes before she gets too tired. -------------
