First an introduction. My name is Mary Roney. I am one of this years new
batch of IBCLC’s. I have found a wealth of information while reading
Lactnet postings over the last three months and have shared much of it with
my fellow nurses and the moms I work with. I have two very smart, well
adjusted adult children who of course were both breastfed and a loving
husband who has patiently taught me to use the computer so that I can make
use of this service.
I have been an OB nurse for 20 years and have been given the opportunity to
establish a hospital-based LC program in Indianapolis along with Terri
Shakelford. At present I try to see all the BF moms while they’re in the
hospital and spend extra time with any that are having problems. I also make
telephone follow-ups and see clients on an outpatient basis if they need it.
Clients needing extensive help or requesting a home visit are referred to
private LC’s. There is currently no charge for these services and that’s the
way I prefer it, however, the hospital administration is looking into
possible revenue generating options and they question if this might be an
area for them to pursue. I need input from other hospital-based LC’s as to
whether or not they charge for services and what their services include.
Please E-mail me privately if you can help.
