Hi. I have asked that pumps be provided (hand pumps, that is) for WIC
mothers in Vermont. I have been told that there is no money for this.
Hi. WIC also does not pay for breastpump rentals for WIC moms here in Vermont.
Medicaid will pay for rentals for mothers who are ill or with ill babies.
But a regular employed mother who is on WIC gets no pump. .
I think this is a terrible shame. : (
