The challenges facing lactation consultants
A request needs a slot within forty-eight hours
A latch problem cannot wait until next week. A diary showing nothing before ten days loses the consultation, and sometimes the breastfeeding.
Home, clinic and video in the same week
Three formats, three durations, three prices, and a journey for the first. One list of slots cannot serve all three.
Travel is part of the price
Twenty miles with the scales is not the same service as the clinic. Stated at booking, the fee does not get discussed on the doorstep.
The intake form saves twenty minutes of history-taking
Baby's age, birth weight, how it went, difficulties. Those answers filled in beforehand let the consultation start where it is useful.
The follow-up is short but it exists
One consultation, then a check-in a week later. The second gets booked at the end of the first or it does not happen.

Practical guide: Lactation consultants
- Keep slots open at forty-eight hours, visible only at short notice. That is the window that matters in this work.
- Three separate services — home, clinic, video — with their own durations and prices. The video link is created automatically.
- Travel charges by area, shown before confirmation.
- An intake form in custom fields: baby's age, weight, how the birth went, main difficulty.
- The follow-up check booked at the end of the consultation, not left to an exhausted new mother.
- A reminder the night before with what to have ready — red book, last weight.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a lactation consultation cost?
Around £100 to £200 for a home visit of two hours or more, £60 to £120 at a clinic and £50 to £90 by video. Set your own prices.
What does IBCLC certification mean in the UK?
It is the international credential, awarded by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners after clinical hours, coursework and an examination, with recertification every five years. What matters here is what it is not: lactation consultancy is not a statutorily regulated profession in the United Kingdom, the title is not protected, and anyone may offer breastfeeding support. IBCLC is therefore the de facto standard that insurers, NHS trusts and referring midwives look for. Two boundaries apply whoever you are: clinical assessment and diagnosis belong to registered professionals, and tongue-tie division is a clinical procedure carried out by suitably trained registered practitioners, not by a consultant without that registration.
Can I open slots at very short notice?
Yes, with a booking window that only reveals certain slots close to the day.
Can I offer home, clinic and video?
Yes, as three services with their own durations and prices.
Can I charge travel automatically?
Yes, by area, shown before confirmation.
Can I have an intake form completed before the consultation?
Yes, with required custom fields.
