In my private practice initial consults are usually about 1.5 - 2 hours. Some as short as 1 hour and some as long as 3 hours. It depends on how confident the parents are and how much basic breastfeeding and infant behaviour I need to cover as well as the problem they are having. My follow up appointments tend to be one hour.
