Part of the reason I wanted to become an IBCLC is the flexibility it allows for family. Consultations can come out of a clear blue sky.  For the moms, not always, but how often do we get calls late at night that she is in so much pain and needs help right now.  It takes a while to have a nipple falling off, or a baby not eating for twenty four hours.  
When i do hire a professional, i don't mind if they take a phone call in the middle of a consult, or are running late because of a family emergency, as long as they are with me, they are with me. and i practice the same way.
