This may not be much help, but maybe try a different hospital.  I'm sure there are a lot of private ones, I just don't have any personal first hand knowledge of them.  Or, try asking you doctor about other classes outside of the hospital.

If you need a lactaction consultant, I recommend Debbie Gillespie (480.786.0431) she helped me so much after my daughter was born.  The one-on-one focus was awesome and she was so patient.
