CMN Helps El Paso Children’s with Medela Advanced Breast Pumps

Medela Advanced Breast Pumps – $3,974

Funded by CMN, Medela Advanced Breast Pumps do the job for 80% to 90% of NICU and Intermediate ICU patients who are on breast milk which is considered “liquid gold” for NICU babies.  Breast milk reduces the infants stay in the NICU, helps fight infections and protects an infant from the developing necrotizing enterocolitis, a devastating disease of the bowel.  These pumps help moms establish a good supply but they are expensive and difficult for some new Moms to obtain.
