Support for breastfeeding
-
Pregnant members can get a no-cost breast pump. You can get this benefit during your third trimester, once every two years. And you don’t need pre-approval or prior authorization.
-
If you’re breastfeeding, you’ll want to empty your breasts regularly by feeding or using a breast pump. This prevents your breasts from becoming full and painful. You can pump breast milk when it works for you. Then your baby can get the best nutrition, no matter what your schedule. A breast pump also gives other family members the chance to feed and bond with your baby.
Need help with breastfeeding? Call the National Breastfeeding Helpline at 1‑800‑994‑9662 (TDD: 1‑888‑220‑5446).
-
Need help or have questions about breastfeeding? You’re not alone. Contact the Oklahoma Breastfeeding Resource Center, and you can speak with a certified lactation consultant at any time. Just call 1-877-271-6455 (1-877- 271-MILK) or text OK2BF to 61222. You can reach them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
