Quite a gift, this World Breastfeeding Week: Breastfeeding support and pump rentals to be covered by insurance, with no co-pay
Tuesday,
August
2nd,
2011
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services adopted the recent recommendation of the Institute of Medicine, to require insurers to provide breastfeeding support and pump rentals, free of co-pays and other cost-sharing.
The guidelines state that the following must be covered by private insurance: “Comprehensive lactation support and counseling, by a trained provider during pregnancy and/or in the postpartum period, and costs for renting breastfeeding equipment.”
The Department’s press release on the new policy says that “New health plans will need to include these services without cost sharing for insurance policies with plan years beginning on or after August 1, 2012.”
Not a bad way to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week!

U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin and the National Prevention Council invite you to join them for a news conference (via live webcast) in Washington, D.C., to release the National Prevention Strategy on Thursday, June 16, at 11:00 a.m. ET. To view a live webcast of the event, go to: www.hhs.gov/liveThis first ever National Prevention Strategy, called for under the Affordable Care Act, was created to help move the nation from a focus on sickness and disease to one based on prevention and wellness. By focusing on prevention, the National Prevention Strategy will help Americans stay healthy and fit and improve our nation’s prosperity. The National Prevention Strategy’s goal is to increase the number of Americans who are healthy at every stage of life. The Strategy’s four Strategic Directions and seven Priorities include evidence-based recommendations fundamental to improving the nation’s health. The National Prevention Council, comprised of 17 Federal agencies and chaired by the Surgeon General, developed the National Prevention Strategy with input from stakeholders, the public, and the Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health. To succeed, implementation of the Strategy must include public and private partners working together at the national, state, tribal, local, and territorial levels. More information on the National Prevention Strategy and the National Prevention Council can be found at: |

The first human milk bank is now a reality for Costa Ricans and it is located in the Hospital Carlos Luis Valverde Vega of San Ramón, Alajuela. It was inaugurated on the 6 of this month. This initiative aims to support the health of children whose mothers cannot breastfeed them, and thus reduce infant mortality. In addition, from there it is expected they will evaluate the creation of a network of such centers. In this bank, a professional team caters to mothers who are able and willing to donate their milk to be distributed later among children in need. In this bank, milk is analyzed and pasteurized, and this is offered to hospitalized children with special needs. The project, in which ¢ 25 million has already been invested, is made possible by cooperation between the Ministries of Health of Costa Rica and Brazil since 2010. More Info

New research from the University of Extremadura in Badajoz, Spain, has shown that the composition of breast milk changes over the course of the day to help babies sleep at night. Naturally occurring chemicals called nucleotides, which have previously been linked to sleepiness, were found to be at their highest levels at night-time.
Researchers tested the breast milk of 30 mothers who had been breast-feeding for at least three months. Samples of milk were collected
before each feed over a 24-hour period, with between six and eight samples collected per mother.
The scientists also noted that this may have an impact on when mothers express their breast milk and feed it to their baby, as milk expressed
in the morning may not help a baby to sleep as well as milk expressed in the evening.
