Doctors on Demand

Price: App is free; $40 for a 25-minute session or $70 for a 50-minute session

Let?s face it: If you?re home with a newborn and dealing with a painful case of plugged ducts, the last thing you feel like doing is driving to your doctor?s office and waiting to be seen. Enter Doctors on Demand, a health-care service founded by Oprah?s BFF Dr. Phil that offers new moms video visits with board-certified lactation consultants. (Just make an appointment using the companion app.) The Skype-esque platform means an expert can watch you nurse, inspect you or Baby if needed, and then give you practical solutions to make breastfeeding easier. All without your having to change out of pajamas.
