Has anyone had success using videoconferencing for a consultation? I've searched the archives and cannot find any mention of it. A couple of articles in JHL last year highlighted the potential for using computers and mobile devices with cameras to make consults easier for moms. Unlike a regular phone call, a call on Facetime or Skype (or other videoconferencing equipment) would allow the LC to see what's actually going on while allowing mom and baby to remain in their own home. I can definitely see the value in working this way, and I would love to hear more about anyone's experiences trying this.

Warmly,
