Breast Pump Insurance Coverage

Does anyone know anything about claiming a breast pump through private insurance (SunLife) in Ontario? I've heard they can be covered but not sure what the process is!

I'm also with sunlife. They said I need a prescription from my midwife/doctor, 75% coverage, $50 deductible, up to $300. Your coverage might be different.

I would suggest calling! My work is with sunlife, I called and it was listed under extremity pump. They covered up to $300 with just proof of receipt if they ask. Babies r us has the Mandela on sale from 350 to 300 for baby fest rn

Amazing, thank you ladies!

Swaddle Vs sleeping suit.

Which one seems to work better for your baby? I am ftm, with a 4week old, I am not entirely sure what is the best option to get him to sleep restfully for a few hours between feeds.

Stop breastfeeding

Breastfeeding (expressing) is affecting my mental & physical health, my breasts constantly hurt, even when I express, I need to get checked to discard mastitis, but my mental health isn't good too, so I just want to stop producing milk.
I'm recovering from a C-Section, my body looks like a disgrace and my scar got infected twice and had to had antibiotics, I'm constantly uncomfortable.

GP has suggested to stop producing milk the natural way, but when I try, the pain is unbearable and it seems like my body wants to produce even more milk. I'm exhausted and I feel like I can't cope with it anymore.
Luckily my baby is mostly formula fed and any breastmilk has been given to him in bottles anyway, and he seems healthy & happy.

Has anyone stopped producing milk the natural way? I asked for medication and they said they can't prescribe it unless a major medical reason 😔

Colostrum harvesting

Anyone else having real difficulty?? So demoralising. I was wondering if people have any tips…

Also how long should you try for? I’m getting minuscule drips but nowhere near even 0.1ml. 🥺

Thanks in advance
