recently had the opportunity to meet with Tennessee Representative Esther Helton-Haynes, who is pushing for a permanent tax exemption on breast pumps. At Aeroflow Health, we are deeply committed to supporting healthy moms and ensuring access to the resources they need!

NC has passed the 2024 budget to include the elimination of breast pump sales tax! Aeroflow sends its sincerest thank you to @triciacotham + @SenPaulNewton for their leadership and support throughout the process. We wouldn't have seen this victory without their persistence.

Evidence shows positive benefits of breastfeeding during this RSV season. Results from a systematic review by Pediatrics show "breastfeeding is associated with lower rates of babies hospitalized with RSV bronchiolitis." #parity4pumps

Women need support from many community partners to optimally breastfeed. We all have a role to play - including insurance providers. We encourage both Commercial and Medicaid plans to provide coverage for all items/services a mother will need in her breastfeeding journey.

Let’s work together to improve support for breastfeeding mothers and remove barriers to breast pumps and supplies. Fair reimbursement and sales tax exemption for breast pumps and supplies support access to quality pumps and accessories.

Thank you to Rhode Island's Governor @GovDanMcKee for signing the FY23 budget which includes an exemption of breast pumps and supplies from state sales tax. Pumping and breastfeeding supplies will now be more accessible to all Rhode Island moms.

Il legislators are making a difference for mothers – SB157 passed both houses and is on its way to the Governor’s desk with language that excludes breast pumps and supplies from state sales tax. Thank you @barbara_isabel and @SenatorCelina for shepherding this through!

Thank you @senatorcastro for supporting SB 3634!
Breast pumps are a basic necessity for nursing parents, especially ones who need to return to work and can’t breast feed regularly.
Thank you to my colleague @SenatorCelina for introducing this bill in the Senate! newschannel20.com/news/local…

Today IL Senators passed SB 3634 with full bi-partisan support. Thank you @SenatorCelina for your strong support of legislation removing sales tax for breast pumps and supplies for breastfeeding mothers!

Returning to work is only one reason a mother may use a breast pump. Pumps allow moms to avoid supplementing feedings with formula, create emergency supply, and maintain their milk supply. Help ease financial burden by eliminating sales tax on pumps and supplies.

Did you know breast pumps are basic necessities for breastfeeding mothers? Particularly working moms, mothers of premature infants or babies unable to latch? Moms shouldn't have to pay the government to feed their babies - exempt sales tax for breast pumps and supplies.

Legislation has been introduced in IL to exempt breast pumps and supplies from sales tax. Thank you IL Rep. @barbara_isabel for introducing H.B. 4234, legislation that makes sense for families! #twill

Did you know most states tax breast pumps, yet nearly every state exempts infant formula from tax? Let's work towards parity for pumps. parityforpumps.com/

A Senate companion bill to HB4234 has been introduced in IL, SB3634. Thank you @SenatorCelina for making nursing mothers a priority. #twill
