Attention all new moms and moms-to-be! There is a resource tool that just became available that I seriously would have loved to have when I was pregnant with each of my boys. Let me back up a little before I tell you about it. I've shared before how I struggled to breastfeed when I had my first baby. I tried everything possible and it just didn't work. One thing that I tried to help increase my supply, was pumping. However, the pump I was using was given to me second hand. I had no idea how to use it, or if it even worked properly. I struggled using it and felt like a failure that I wasn't able to increase my supply with it. I was silly enough to make this same mistake the second time around, continuing to use a second hand pump that I not only didn't know how to use, but didn't even have all the right parts for! Now, I don't think it's the sole reason things didn't work the way I wished they had, but I really feel that I could have had a lot better experience if I would have had a new pump and actually knew how to use it. So, what was I thinking? Why make the same mistake twice? I was thinking that I had to pay for a new pump out of pocket and that I couldn't afford that. I had no idea that my insurance would have fully covered a new pump. That's where Bumpbenefits.com comes in. This website is a dream come true, no joke! It is designed to help mothers get breast pumps and other accessories for free by working with insurance companies. I had heard that you could get a breast pump through your insurance, but I had no idea how to do so. I was so preoccupied with getting ready to be a mom for the first time, that I didn't look into it or think that my insurance would cover the whole thing. After baby, I was so overwhelmed with insurance, bills from the hospital, bills from my OB, etc. that I couldn't even think about trying to do anything further with insurance. So, how does it work? Bump Benefits has done the hard work of teaming up with insurance agencies and made it beyond easy to not only get a new breast pump free, but to help you compare and chose which pump is right for you. They made it simple for you to access your insurance covered benefits with just providing basic information about your insurance, then they take care of the rest! No extra paperwork, no extra phone calls, just an easy to use website that does all the work for you. BRILLIANT! If that wasn't awesome enough on it's own, Bump Benefits can also help you to see if your insurance will cover other pregnancy products such as prenatal vitamins, compression socks, back braces and more. I know for us as a single income family, any savings we can find are greatly appreciated and make a difference. Every little bit helps!
Again, I would have loved this when I was pregnant, but am so happy it's available to all you mommas now and that I'm able to share it with you. Hey, the way I look at it, is that you pay for your insurance coverage, shouldn't you get all the benefits you can from it, especially when all the hard work (and annoying paperwork) has been done for you? Check it out at https://bumpbenefits.com/ and make sure to follow their Instagram too. Hope this is helpful to all you new moms, and expecting moms out there! Congrats on those little ones and happy pumping!
