Greetings... LuAnn wrote that her hospital is considering charging for out- patient Lactation Services. I wish I could offer some information that would be helpful. I don't think anyone in Iowa has done this yet, but I will anxiously await discussion of this on Lactnet. This is something we have been wrestling with for a while. Best of luck, LuAnn.
