Information

New and expecting mothers who live in New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine who are covered by Empire BlueCross BlueShield are eligible for a free breast pump under their benefits plan. This comes as good news to many mothers as the price of electric breast pumps is an added burden as they prepare for their new baby. When you get an insured breast pump through A Med Supplies, you gain access to discounted upgrades and breastfeeding supplies like nursing bras, pillows, and tummy support bands. Our free breast pumps come from top rated breast pump brands like Medela, Ameda, Ardo, and Spectra, so you know you are getting a quality product for you and your baby.

Why Breastfeed?

Breastfeeding should always be a personal choice that a mother makes. However, a mother shouldn’t have to forego breastfeeding because she does not have the resources to do so, which is why so many insurance companies cover breastfeeding supplies. Modern baby formula has all of the nutrients and vitamins that a baby needs to grow and develop normally, so mothers who choose to not breastfeed can still properly care for their infants. That being said, there are several benefits that breast milk offers that formula alone cannot provide.

  • Breastfed babies get sick less often: While breast milk isn’t a magic cure to avoid illness, it has been shown that babies who are breastfed have a stronger immune system. This is because when nursing, the mother transfers healthy antibodies to the baby. These antibodies help the infant defend against viruses and infections like ear infections and meningitis.

  • Babies who are breastfed see benefits beyond infancy: Breastfeeding sets babies up for healthy childhoods. When a baby nurses, they gain the right amount of weight which results in fewer instances of obesity and diabetes. Breastfeeding is also linked to fewer cases of allergies and asthma in childhood.

  • Nursing benefits moms as well: When we are pregnant, our bodies put on extra weight that helps keep us and our babies healthy. After giving birth, mothers who breastfeed typically drop that weight more quickly because nursing burns between 300 and 500 calories per day. Nursing also releases a hormone called oxytocin. This is known as the “bonding chemical” and helps moms create strong attachments to their babies. It also, however, helps the uterus to contract and return to its pre-pregnancy size more quickly. This lessens the amount of postpartum bleeding. Mothers who breastfeed also report fewer cases of postpartum depression and anxiety.
