For cheaper, but just as good alternatives, from memory the ABA has a drop in Centre in Dandenong, and also, the City of Kingston runs a Breastfeeding Drop in on Wednesdays in Parkdale. And they also have several LCs that do house calls. Oh and also, the Sandringham Hospital runs a Breasfeeding Day clinic, I spent 2 days there!

You are doing a great job hun, it is mighty hard work establishing breastfeeding. My experience was similar. DD seemed to have a love/hate realtionship with the breast. She really wanted it, but constantly pulling on/off, refusing to take it, refusing milk from a cup, spoon and bottle. In the end we worked out that she had silent reflux, and by about 12 weeks, we had perfected breastfeeding, and went on to feed for 14 months. Hang in there hun, you're doing great
