New Moms Get A Free Breast Pump

When you’re about to have a new baby, especially if it is your first one, there are several uncertainties about what to expect.  Sometimes it can be totally frustrating when you sit down and start trying to figure out and figure up all the things you need.  Of course, your babies health and safety are the first priority and you will want to take that into consideration in each decision you make.

Things can start to add up pretty quick when you have a new baby on the way.  You have to think about the cost of clothing, medical expense, diapers, food and much more.  It can get a bit overwhelming.  However, there is one thing you don’t have to worry about and that is getting a breast pump.

Under the Affordable Care Act, it is mandated that new moms be provided a free breast pump by their insurance companies.  This saves you money in two ways:  One is the fact that you will not have to come out of pocket with any money to get your new breast pump.  Two; By breastfeeding your baby for the first six months you could save $3,172.
