I am confused as to why you would consider denying access to these groups?  Most of our WIC clients have cell phones as opposed to land lines. I loan pumps regularly to moms with babies in the NICU and have loaned to several methodone maintained mothers.  I have always gotten the pumps back.  Sometimes it takes some waiting or being creative in our reminders but have never had a major problem and this is across the board not just this sector of mothers.

I would love to  hear from the WIC LC's regarding their pump policies
for their NICU moms.  Particularly those moms that do not have a land
line(just a cell phone) and those that are on Methadone.  Do you deny
these moms access to the WIC pumps in particular?
