[ID] 499 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Nonprofit Organization [Comment] I believe breastfeeding rates and breastfeeding success would skyrocket if women's insurance policies covered one home visit or outpatient visit with a lactation professional (IBCLC) after mother and baby are home from the hospital. The costs for covering one postnatal consultation would easily be justified by much lower costs for breastfed infant health care. Although more and more hospitals have lactation consultants on staff for mothers immediately after birth, so many breastfeeding problems do not occur until after the mother-baby pair is alone at home, lacking good information and support.
