As many of you are aware breast milk is the best nutrition that you can provide for your little Bebe Tresor. What you may not be aware of is the added support available to moms for breastfeeding support. The Affordable Care Act will provide breastfeeding supplies, support and counseling at no additional charge. Not every new mom can produce enough milk no matter how hard she tries. At least now moms have the ability to purchase donor milk that can delivered to their door step. For those moms with critically ill premature infants, it may be possible to have Medicaid coverage at least for now in Maryland. The hope would be that all insurances and Medicaid in every state would cover the cost. There are many sites online to obtain donor milk, but it's in your baby's best interest to use a reputable milk bank. As moms we always try to provide the best for our baby and with these options we are able to continue to do so. Check out these sites for more information.
