From diaper duty to sleepless nights, new parents have enough to worry about. But there’s one thing they shouldn’t have to stress over — paying extra costs for breastfeeding support and supplies.

Do you know someone who’s breastfeeding — or will be soon? Send them our easy-to-use guide on the health care law’s new breastfeeding benefit.

Thanks to the new law, breastfeeding supplies and support are now available in many private insurance plans without costs. Our toolkit will make sure parents can take advantage of this benefit.

With our toolkit, you can get the facts on the breastfeeding support, supplies, and counseling in the health care law and the tools you need to help you get this coverage. The toolkit includes details on how to call insurance companies as well as step-by-step instructions on how to file an appeal if an insurance company denies coverage.

We want to make it easy for parents to get the breastfeeding support they need so they can focus on what’s most important: their families.

Share our easy-to-use resource with the parents in your life.

Breastfeeding benefits both parents and children, reducing the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in adults and asthma, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and leukemia in children. Women who breastfeed have also reported psychological benefits such as close bonding with their infants. And with the health care law, breastfeeding support and supplies have never been more affordable.

Thanks for everything you do to ensure women and their families get comprehensive and affordable health care.

Sincerely,

Judy Waxman Judy Waxman
