Question 13452 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Ms. Geneviève Levy draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the proposed modification of the terms of care for breast pumps. All scientific studies show that the more the duration of breastfeeding increases, the more children are resistant to various diseases and pathologies. The WHO recommends breastfeeding for a minimum of 6 months. In France the end of breastfeeding is often coupled with the end of maternity leave and the return to work for mothers. However, good information on ways to maintain breastfeeding and lactation after separation from the child can improve the rate of breastfeeding women. Covering breast pump rental costs is an important factor in the success of the breastfeeding incentive policy. Many companies specialize in this field, they advise customers on a daily basis. breastfeeding mothers and provide them with efficient equipment. However, the Government plans to present a new policy to cover breast pump rental costs which will not only not improve the breastfeeding rate but will mechanically reduce it. The proposed modification of article L. 165-1 of the social security code is dictated by a simplistic desire to reduce public spending by destabilizing an entire virtuous ecosystem. We forget the well-being of women who wish to breastfeed, and breastfeeding is not obvious, its implementation can be painful and complicated. Lactation professionals are still few in number and yet their valuable advice is often the guarantee of success. Choosing the breast pump that suits your lactation and breastfeeding profile is not easy and requires sound advice. This is why many of women do not turn to pharmacies but to specialized companies, which are now in danger if the proposed modification comes into force as it stands. This is why she asks him to kindly postpone the project to modify the terms of care for breast pumps and to consult with professionals in the sector before considering a change in regulations.
