Good evening mommies!!
Quick question... I'm on WIC and I went in yesterday and asked about a breast pump.. The lady said they do not give them out until the baby is 30 days old...? She said they want me to feed without pumping for the first 30 days of baby's life... When I called and asked my insurance they told me to ask WIC for one... Do I need to have one within the first 30 days? Or just wait it out? Maybe ask my insurance again if we could order one? I'm due July 5th..
It's a CA law that insurance providers are required to pay 100% of one. I got mine already. I will search my email in a moment to see what the website was.
I was only breastfeeding and my baby was always hungry so I bumped and I was only getting an oz from both sides so I would have one just in case cuz my baby wouldn't get full and I didn't know why I had to add formula
I was told that you shouldn't pump for 6 weeks after birth until your supply is established
They say you shouldn't pump for the fist 6wks so your supply can level out and you don't get an oversupply or under supply
is it true that WIC doesn't give a breast pump or formula for the first 30 days?
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
Breast pump covered by insurance
I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
Trying to get a breast pump through my insurance feels about impossible 😣
United health care is awful. I have a prescription for a pump, but they're seriously making me jump through hoops. My insurance will cover a non medical gender test no questions asked, but try and order a pump to feed my kid, and they act like I'm asking for $10,000!!
I'm determined to get this pump for free. If not, guess we will have no choice but to buy one 😡
A Breast Pump and More is the name of the company. Google it. They take care of all of the insurance paperwork! It was a cinch.
