ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Aeroflow and Ameda, a breast pump manufacturer, are partnering with Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta to provide breast pump kits for new mothers to use at Dekalb Detention Center. The program gives the mothers, most of whom will be in Dekalb for short periods of time, the opportunity to initiate and maintain lactation so they can continue to feed their baby breast milk once they're reunited at home. "Many women at Dekalb believe they are not allowed to breastfeed, even in the hospital, but I encourage them to consider doing so, even if it's only for a short period of time," said Kelly Webb, the Lactation Program Coordinator at Grady Memorial Hospital. "Access to a breast pump allows a new mother to maintain supply and remain emotionally connected to her infant." Aeroflow Breastpumps, a subsidiary of Aeroflow Healthcare, is a DME provider specializing in helping pregnant and nursing women qualify for their breast pumps through their insurance and the Affordable Care Act.
