[ID] 1206 [Interest Areas] Lactation Professional [Comment] I work as a nurse and lactation consultant at a freestanding birth center. We offer close follow-up during the crucial first two weeks of breastfeeding. Our breastfeeding rate is 99% with most women breastfeeding longer than 12 months. I see some women with very complex breastfeeding issues who are determined to overcome the problems. I often spend 45-90 minutes with each couplet, but insurance will not recognize my services. Every breastfeeding woman and infant should have access to this kind of support. Lactation consultants should be reimbursed for their time and professional skills. [Topic]
